Sometimes it is just one painting,
one piece of music that makes a difference.
But you have to see or hear it.

Like the brief wild sound of thunder
signifying an unexpected storm,
and the music of Dora Penny's gentle laughter.
Lovely, joyful.
Emerging from a painterly background of sound
in Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations.
