What music do you hear?

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.

Henry David Thoreau

"From December to March, there are for many of us three three gardens:
the garden outdoors, the garden of pots and bowls in the house,and the garden of the mind's eye."
