I’m thinking its good karma that has me posting my first one of these on the day that we have a full moon. That’s because it gives me an excuse to post one of my favorite pieces of music – Clair De Lune.

Whenever I listen to this (I mean REALLY listen), I get the feeling that I’ve found something I didn’t know I’d lost.
