I Don't Understand

The difference between what we know and what we understand is
the difference between what we sense and what we perceive.

For my part, I understood the "language" of music before I could speak. It is something that you can not express in words. Very fluid, ever changing, and unto a world of its own. The closest analogy to understanding music is likened to the ability so speak in metaphor, in the sense of verbal expression. Very strange.

music is art and you "understand" it if it resonates within you. You don't need to understand the mechanics of it to understand it, and you don't need to be educated or bright. It's a gift to all of us from the most educated and intelligent to the lowest of human creatures. Even animals respond to music.
