music

How is it that at times the sound of a car passing in the distance amidst the rain

strikes a chord - so to speak - that can bring a tear to one's eye
Without any explanation as to why. It is, after all, just a car passing by
But the mind has this uncanny ability to create a story in an instant around
a sight, a taste, touch, smell, or sound

so that it takes on a life of it's own...
