"Each scene has its own music, and the music is created for the scene, woven to it in ways we do not understand. No matter how much we may love the melody of the bygone day or imagine the song of a future one, we must dance with the music of today or we will always be out of step, stumbling around in something that doesn't suit the moment." - Lisa Wingate
