I keep thinking of Kashmir by Led Zeppelin but I don't know why. Maybe because a snarky bandmate once called it boring when I was pretentious.
No extra credit for you (or me either) until we elaborate. I also find it daunting but I know I do. For one thing, being true to myself and not misrepresenting my beliefs or values for the sake of social ease. So something about authenticity.
But also I find myself inclined toward reverence in regard to many aesthetic things including passages in novels, music, paintings, sculptures, operas and even sometimes gardens. (I'll have to check to see if Led Zeppelin's Kashmir is among them, but quite likely.)
Nature does it to me every time. My first obsession was the animal kingdom. I've since moved on to the plant kingdom. This place never fails to move me. (Walked there yesterday.)

OK no worries, definitely won't respond to it at all. Last thing you need is content to be added to a thread that you accidentally created and wish were gone.
How's the weather where you are?
Sunny and warmish today. But yesterday was cloudy and dramatic as seen in that photo I just posted.
How about you? How's the weather in balmy old England (Germany?)?
