On The Gift of Music

I got a new guitar today.

It was fifth in a list of contenders, but from the moment the first chord was struck, there were no more contenders. How can a few small pieces of wood and glue, steel and nylon, be responsible for such a magical and memorable connection?

I'm gonna learn to work with this crafted thing of wonder. I suspect that in the long dance of harmony and rhythm, it will lead and I will follow. And I am okay with that.
