J.S. Bach: Prelude Cello Suite No.1

Once in a while, a song comes along and it has the power to transport you into another world. The composition completely draws you in, as if the very vibration of it reconnects you to your mother's womb. It surpasses any and all understanding, but yet one must understand to know it's beauty. This contentment I feel when I hear the cello being strummed with such compassion. This resonance cannot be contained, the fabric of this energy is meaning- it is the purpose of all things around us. One must surrender themselves to it. It calms our savage hearts. It reinvigorates our youth, our dreams to what may have been lost by barriers we alone, have created for ourselves. It makes you want to soar with maverick hawks, dive to the deepest reaches of manta rays, and bask in the heat of stagnant pebbles so smooth, so smooth..
