Around the middle of the day, I started to hear loud, ethereal choral and - maybe flautist? - sounds. Eventually, I realized this wasn't one of my colleagues turning up some loud music, but that there was a whole flock of rotating figures on the space outside the side of Taper Hall - somewhere between a Dalek and a lampshade. All of them were vocalizing or playing - it was really magical (although, to be honest, I'd have wished to come upon them in a more magical setting. But then, maybe not. This is my vision of how I like my university - surprising me with sudden beauty). And then I was given a small bell, with an attached hexagonal notice: one side was advertising a forthcoming Visions and Voices event on Music and Mindfulness, with a mindful-poem written by a student in a poetry class taught by Molly Bendall, one of my colleagues.
This has been a long day: I could do with more music and mindfulness.
