    Wonderful use of music, both literal, perhaps spontaneous, and perhaps even emblematic of the actual season.

    I've experienced some nifty riffs, whether a classical musician or a Jazz veteran, which stop me in my tracks with no control over my need to walk to something or someone, running late. :-)

    Spring rain–
    cherry blossoms on
    meandering flow
