About This Quote
She chased the song like a hound fast upon a scent. She pursued it through a forest primeval: a dark land planted with musical staves and rests and grown thick with briars of annotation. On she went and on still until she caught sight of the song ahead of her, fleeting and sly. “I see it,†she said aloud, though she didn’t mean to.
She was talking to herself. This is an example of how the mind works. Our minds are full of stories, thoughts, ideas, or ruminations that we call "conversations" with ourselves.
These are the things that drive us to get up in the morning and do what we're doing today. Sometimes the conversations are simple like this one while at other times they're more complex like inner dialogues about our purpose for being here on Earth.
