[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 106834, member: 3647"] Barbara! I LOVE Canon in D (yep, minor). I used to sing in the church praise band, and that was very uplifting, yet calming as well. I noticed an awful lot of nature references. Some things that I remember being serene while doing: In Hawaii. Watching the sunset. The ocean was calm. It looked golden from the setting sun. You heard nothing but the sound of a nearby waterfall. The breeze was light and salty, and you would just watch the sun get bigger and redder as it approached the horizon...then get smaller and smaller as it dipped below. You could see it's twin reflecting off the water, and watched it until it was a tiny dot...then nothing. It was just breathtaking. In New Mexico. Matt & I happened to be trucking through there in the middle of the night. It was a clear night with no moon. We pulled over and got out of the truck to watch the stars. I have never ever seen anything like it before in my life. A sapphire sky with a million diamonds. And I kid you not, a shooting star every 5 seconds. I could not believe that this was the same sky I look at in this dirty city. Our very first truck had a sunroof (yep. a sunroof in a semi). One evening, in upper Michigan, there was one heck of a thunderstorm. Matt & I laid down in the back of the semi and watched the storm through the sunroof for HOURS. What a lightshow. It was amazing. As a kid, I would always pick up my cat, Farrah, and lay on my back while she snuggled on my chest to purr. I just loved that. She was a beautiful calico cat. That was a very serene time. As an adult, cuddling with Tink has got to be my most favorite thing in the whole wide world to do. I'm enjoying it now while I can, because any day she could tell me that she is too big for that. Yikes. Did not mean to yap so much. [/QUOTE]
