End of semester, sappy reflection.
I am finished classes for this semester. I finished on Thursday. That evening attended an amazing lecture, fell in love all over again (despite my best efforts), and kept good company. Yesterday I spent most of the day with donnatron and today was more of the same.
I am lucky. I might be one of the luckiest people alive.
I have friends. Amazing friends. Amazing people in my life that I find myself just stepping back from and going "Holy shit. These people are so amazing and I am blessed to know them."
I'm also damn lucky to have Donna. Really close-knit friendships are hard to come by. Donna and I are tight. It's a rarity to have a close friendship like ours. The closest approximation to it, if we're going to be all Boston Legal about it would definitely be Alan Shore and Denny Crane.
For the first time in god knows how long, I can truly say I'm happy. This first year of University has been wonderful. Filled with ups and downs and an unprecedent amount of weirdness. But it's been good.
My life is full of stimulus, coming at me from every which way. There's the university thing of course, and that's a huge part of the happiness. It has expanded my world, I don't expressly work any more. I work and attend classes. I'm multi-tasking.
And then there is of course the spiritual development. Kittens, I am on the ball.
My favourite part is the music though. I know I've talked about it at length, and to reiterate the pure adulation that the piano brings me would be redundant. All I can say is that I have never felt so empowered, so connected to something. The music just flows, and my vocals have improved. I don't think I've ever sounded this good consistently.
I'm following Hawksley Workman's twitter.
He had this to say today:
"all these waves and harmonies. acquaint with blessings. understanding means less than making room to feel."
I had to record it somewhere. Understanding means less than making room to feel. Of course he is speaking directly about the making of music, but oh how true this sentiment rings for the last few days of my strange yet exhilarating life.
I'm so giddily excited for the coming season and all of the promise it brings. I don't know what to expect, but I feel like I'm going to go in directions I've never dreamed.
