TigSource Musical Challenge XXXVIII - Respite
Imagine......that you’re in a dangerous setting. You feel tense and perhaps are finding yourself near the end of your rope. Suddenly, by some good fortune, you stumble upon a safe, peaceful, and beautiful setting where you can let your guard down for a minute. You feel great relief as you sit down and take a minute to rest and restore your energy. You look around and see an overwhelming quiet beauty. This change of setting is so dramatic, the relief you feel is so great, this spot appears to you as nothing short of heavenly or magical. The fact that you know you must carry on soon and leave this spot only intensifies how sweet this moment is.
