On Being in Love, On Being in Life
It's funny how the way I feel inside can be explained with words and concepts, but when it comes to writing it out, the words escape me. I guess that could be what makes a good writer... well, great. The ability to convey their feelings and images with clarity.
There's this band, Lamb... I was recently introduced to them by my niece, like a few months ago. I haven't done much research on who they are really, but I've watched a lot of their videos on youtube. I managed to pick up an LP of theirs at Easy Street too... an actual record. I listened to it last night and there's a particular song... it's called Wonder.
The song is an amazing composition of sounds so pleasant... Harmonies and blending and arpeggios of vivid color and warmpth. It seems alive, breathing and flowing... The vocals are enigmatic and unique yet play into these streams of mist like darting sparows. Poetry that sparkles light off soft waves.
This song is how I feel in my heart whenever I am in the arms of my love. I almost want to cry when I read this because of how my heart fills with these emotions and I am overwhelmed.
I feel fortunate to be able to exist in this type of life. So many people search for this feeling all their lives and are never even aware of its existance. It's like some holy grail that people are always seeking. I've seen so many people give up on it alltogether and resign themselves to living a life of mediocrity and settling for less than their standards. It's heartbreaking really. I wish that every person could feel this way and perhaps people would understand why I see the things the way I do. Why I would not allow certain things in my life. Things that upset me.
How could I?
How could I choose to be upset about something when I've lived the way I've lived? Why would I "settle" for that?
Life has one chance, one time around. I am not going to ever settle for less.
