A Sympathetic String

There is a harmonic phenomenon in music called sympathetic resonance.  This occurrence happens, for example, when an untouched string produces a sound in response to an external vibration.  The string quivers in reply to the chorded note without being touched.  In ancient times this sympathetic resonance was revered by musicians as magical … a mystery.  Relationships are like that; in the presence of a person who excites us, ignites our thought and captures our heart, our body cues are rich.   We feel significant … special. We all know this happens – there is a person who can turn on all of our hidden lights.
