I am renewed.
I have a little bit of the universe pouring a cup of *rightness* into my otherwise empty feeling spirit these days.
As I was discussing with the cowboy fiancee last night, it’s often a burden to us both to have a heart thats so large. With that much more volume, it tends to bump into things with greater frequency. So it seems of late, at least.
Still, even with 20% scars and scabs and bruises, it’s still about 40% more functional than many of the folks we’ve run across over the last few months. It’s a blessing. And a curse. Having this almost overwhelming emotional response to things. Sometimes small and precious, sometimes grand and engulfing. With all the intricacies of and moving parts of an ant farm, or my circulatory system, the pigmentation in individual cells as designed on a butterfly’s wing, or a metropolis as seen in the eyes of Carl Sandburg.
Yeah. Like that.
And sometimes these…things…they escape what I’d like to believe, is the realm of conscious control. What was I thinking?
I have nominal control. Were it not for my pride and vanity, I’d cry in public, throw rocks at strangers who cut me off in public, or dance on the sidewalk while humming a tune of rapturous whimsy.
Of course I’ve been known to do all of the above things at one point or other too. Just not of late. Thank goodness.
Song in my head. Found off my harddrive and playing *just* at the right time. Perfectly vibing my mood.
Sometimes you find a cover that’s a whole other glorious color than the original.
Like Cyndi Lauper’s cover of Roy Orbison’s “I Drove All Night”
And then there’s tonight’s perfect gem.
Everything but the Girl’s Cover of Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time”
The right time.
The gears click.
The lights glow.
For just one perfect little moment.
Serendipity.
