Chimes in time

I was responding to a letter from a friend the other day. he was relating to me how he is re-defining the musical scale. This man is one of my three best friends, in this incarnation. I've known him for about thirty five years. Anyways, back to the chimes. I bought some chimes at a metaphysical shp a couple years back. I brushed against them, and the sound of them just, well... I "felt" the sound, inside me. I told my friend about it, because he is a musician as well as the best artist I know. It is because of him, that I feel a need to seek the Ideal. I have placed my chimes on a know that is a pull to a not-much-opened cabinent. They make their sounds only when I need to open the cabinent and when the cats play with them. That sound they make, touches my inner being. I asked my friend if he had ever felt this way when he played music that he created. The answer in a later post, I trust. I wondered if other people have felt this connection to sound. I have listened to many, many albums and songs and some have touched me in a way that I only knew as 'enjoyable." I have these chimes, as I mentioned before and they touch me, maybe that's all I have to know, at this time, but I want it to be more.
