i was driving the other day, listening to tchaikovsky's violin concerto (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATK_pj2iMqg)

and as soon as the violin solo started playing

i had a very strange reaction

i felt very overwhelmed

like i knew how powerful this sound was

and i couldn't do anything about it

(it is going to go on; it is its own being)

this feeling manifested itself as follows:

my fingers needed to be tight, as if trying to create a void

but the wheel was on the way

it was as if i was trying to get rid of this overwhelming feeling

so my arms tightened, my grip tightened around the wheel

and i was pushing my body with my arms away from the wheel

and i closed my eyes

until i could breathe again

(once the violin could breathe as well)

and i kept driving

but my fingers were dancing on my leg, on the wheel, on my face

and when i got to the place i was going

and the music stopped

i sat back and let my body melt with the silence for a while
