Had a rather peaceful day until I saw an unexpected message. The tonality of the day was suddenly altered and an emotional urgency took over under which I had to immerse myself in certain tunes. Have been successfully tiptoeing around those for the past year.

Life has changed for me, to say the least. There is no exact vocabulary for it. The castle of resistance — how elaborately it’s been constructed — was just washed away amid tonal beating on my nerve endings. It did make me feel rather clean.
