A surprising thing about music

Is that when you don't hear it for a while, the sounds are intense when you do. I guess this isn't that surprising a fact, but it is surprising how much clearer music sounds after, for example, a week in the mountains doing Yamabushi training.

I've said it before but I'll say it again, Yamabushi training helps you appreciate the mundane. Music is not mundane, but the very fact that we can listen to whatever we want whenever we want is. And music especially has a great power over humans, a power that I really felt after coming out of the mountains.
