It's good sometimes to lapse into what has been familiar. I happened across Led Zeppelin on VH1 and watched about 30 minutes of the concert. While watching, the band played my number one rock hit of all time (and in reality it is close to that) - Stairway to Heaven. It is chock full of allusions and Heaven is an inner state, not a place in the afterlife. It was just good to move into a relaxing inner state, have thoughts of what the song was saying, which was automatic because I have heard this song so many times, and enjoy watching the band's nuances of movements that they added to the words. Sometimes automaticity is relaxing and needed. Familiarity has a place in life.
