Freedom was the name for the dizzying power that lasted through her library expeditions. No pleasantries ever needing to be exchanged with the librarian on duty. Even the round clock at high noon on the wood-panelled wall had no claim on her. From the first second she entered the building she was in other times, other dimensions. She was other Naoises.
Sometimes I listen to music that reflects my mood, and sometimes I listen to music to try to change my mood. I've been feeling anxious, so I've been finding comfort in this playlist I made for MisterInBlue last year when my health started turning around.

Practice makes perfect in our minds too.
