Very nice, I am also always seeking this point of "stopping the 
different trains..."... ;-)

"Fortunately, at least for a while, my mind finally stopped yesterday, 
and as always when this happens, it happens completely on its own, 
completely beyond my control. Some sudden change in the music triggers 
something deep and before my mind can react, it is pushed aside, making 
room for being moved, being present and still."

I would call it the spiritual aspect of music.
Religions are human made abstract constructions which have only very 
small connections to the spiritual reality, they are just sold as "the 
connection".
But only real experience can connect you... I think thats is what music 
and all art is about, help to create the connection within and for a 
community... Difficult job, but very rewarding, you're quite good at 
that too...
