Today

Today is the first day of fall.

Two years ago today I had a perfect day.

Two years ago today I discovered that nothing was impossible.

Two years ago today I had a remarkable, wonderful adventure. I made friends in strange new places. I played and learned and laughed and dreamed while wide awake. I lived more in that day than I did for months before or after.

Then life came along and reminded me all about life. About how nothing can be taken for granted, and anything can be taken away. About how much we let ourselves become trapped in a daily existence that has nothing to do with who we are. About how much time is wasted on pointless things, busywork, things that make no difference....

Yesterday I was bogged down in that. I didn't know what today would be like.

Today I feel the winds changing, smell the earth releasing an autumn scent. Today I want to run and write and leave the rest behind.

I won't go. Not today. As much as I would like to wax poetic and bow out, there are still things to do and I will stay here and do them.

Oh well. There's always tomorrow.

Songs I Can Never Get Too Much of Part 7

Slow down.. this night's a perfect shade of
Dark blue (dark blue)
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room when I'm here with you
I said the world could be burning down
Dark blue (dark blue)
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I'm here with you
I said the world could be burning 'til there's nothing but dark blue..
Just dark blue
