My feelings were not of country, or patriotism, but more of melancholy and appreciation. I was not quite sure if I have a movie here, for it is quite long, but I decided to put it out there for you folks to decide.<br />The hauntingly beautiful score is by <a href="http://magnatune.com/artists/teng">Suzanne Teng</a>, the album is called, <a href="http://magnatune.com/artists/albums/teng-enchanted/">"Enchanted Wind,"</a> and the track is called, <a href="http://magnatune.com/artists/albums/teng-enchanted/">"Light of the Heart."</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://magnatune.com/artists/albums/teng-enchanted/"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3256/1202/320/suzanne_teng.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Check out Suzanne Teng at <a href="http://magnatune.com/">Magnatune.</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14228678-115889053490495318?l=cafesiena.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07235682367935516329noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14228678.post-1152279909000870752006-07-07T09:15:00.000-04:002006-11-04T15:23:25.646-05:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3256/1202/1600/yahoo-screen-shot-copy-B.0.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3256/1202/320/yahoo-screen-shot-copy-B.0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3256/1202/1600/yahoo-screen-shot-copy-c.0.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3256/1202/320/yahoo-screen-shot-copy-c.0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p align="left">An extraordinary event took place for me most recently.
