Like religious faith, music has no logic and no "reason." It just Is.
Just as prayer can be undertaken where no one but God can hear you, music
also is spiritual food even if our only audience is a cat.

"The East River. But it was not a river at all. Merely a column of water
connecting the upper harbor to the Sound. Yet everyone called it a river.
They chose not to think about it. They clung to the surface of things."
