    And what a lovely piece of music that is too, MA. Thank you for the link - thoroughly enjoyed.
    So much of what I write I scribble away whilst listening to Pietro Mascagni: Cavalleria rusticana - Intermezzo. If you don't know it, give it a listen. It quite literally transports you to another place. There's something special about writing to a piece of music that moves you completely - it's almost too much emotion to bear sometimes, isn't it? I'm going to bet that you know what I mean.

    Lovely work. All the best as ever,

    Ben

      Thanks so much, Ben! And I have not heard the piece, thank YOU for sharing it. Listening now and it's beyond moving, words can't being to describe it. I work part-time at our city's orchestra and my co-workers and I will usually send videos throughout the week like this or are like "hey, check this piece out!". Each time, we learn something new and are able to connect with it emotionally. Isn't it amazing how it can open our minds and hearts, and give us the ability to, like you said, transport somewhere else. Which is often needed if we're caught up in thoughts that we can't seem to calm or control or that just overwhelm us.

      Thanks again, Ben!

      Glad you liked it, MA, and that you understood what I meant. I knew you would.
