A glimpse of heaven

Two nights ago I saw a glimpse of the eternal at Seattle Symphony, while listening to Rachmoninaff's "Rhapsody on a theme of Paginini." Actually I wasn't listening to Rachmoninaff at all I was hearing the cry of a human heart, hearing an emotion that was so full of yearning and desire that it could not be put into words, and seeing a tantalizing preview of heaven. I saw the Creator of Music and a tiny glimpse of his immeasureable glory and goodness, as yearned in my heart for the fulfillment of his promises and the redemption of this world.
(i had a much prettier and nicely perfected three paragraphs to post and then i accidently deleted them, so this is the short version of what I experienced)
Here are those three minutes of music that I have a hard time believing came from this world: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90MuPqYtV
