Is audio a kind of spiritual journey?

I would say that for me it has been. I'd also say that it didn't start out that way. Initially, I just wanted to create a home entertainment system for the lowest price. Initially.

Eventually, my perspective changed and assembling the system and experiencing the system became more spiritual. Also more calming. Kinda reminds me of those Japanese banzai plants where the owner spends years pruning and trimming, etc. the banzai tree. Little by little.

And, it might be safe to say that I might not listen to my system as much as the typical 'Gon person. But when I do, I usually enjoy it. It's a bit spiritual, or meditative and calming for me.

In fact. At times when life gets unusually stressful for me, I'll hear a voice telling me, "...you need to listen to some music." Or, "...you need to watch a movie for awhile."

And when I can, and I do. I feel calmer.

Your boat comment put a smile on my face. I have friends in the boat business. I have a buddy whose family owns a Chris Craft boat repair business. I remember one of his hobbies was restoring an ol' Chris Craft.

I think he was the first one that told me -- "The 2 best days in a boat owner's life are, they day they buy the boat and the day they sell the boat."
