I found chopin today and it made every sound feel new again. There is something about his music that creates stories for me. Additionally I finally gave into iTunes and redownloaded "A Boy and A Girl" a choral piece by Eric Whitacre. I finally looked up the lyrics and the song means so much more to me.

Stretched out on the grass,

a boy and a girl.
Savoring their oranges,
giving their kisses like waves exchanging foam.

Stretched out on the beach,
a boy and a girl.
Savoring their limes,
giving their kisses like clouds exchanging foam.

Stretched out underground,
a boy and a girl.
Saying nothing, never kissing,
giving silence for silence.

The first time I heard this song I cried--in public even. It says something beautiful about the relationship two people can build together. It makes me want to have that beauty in my life.
