float on a moonbeam across the sky

I lie in bed, energized and awake, and it's 3:48am. Practice in less than three hours, and I haven't gotten a moment of sleep, but somehow I feel fine with that. I know my body will catch up when it needs to, and demand the sleep it's missing at the moment, whenever it feels it's ready. I look out the window and marvel at how bright it is outside. The fresh white snow reflects the moonlight like pure crystal powder, not yet dirtied by city life. Spring seemed just on the verge of breaking through and taking over, but somehow I wouldn't trade the most beautiful summer day for this pristine winter night. Everything looks so quiet and still - something very peaceful, intimate, almost eerie about the air right now....

I find myself thinking about a girl I knew in high school. In surfing through livejournal I ran across hers; she's somewhere in Europe at the moment, seems to be doing really well. Though I never knew her too too well, I'd have to say she is more true to herself than anyone I've ever met, which I've always admired inredibly. I'm sure the opinions of others must phase her, but she never lets it change her. I wonder if she ever knew that I looked up to her for that. I hope she realizes what an amazing ability she possesses, to be so true and so sincere....but then I'm sure she does. She's a smart girl.

I've decided I need to take more pictures. Of random things, especially of people. Defining moments of people's expressions.

What is risk-taking to you?

Also need to lose myself in music more often. If anyone has been exposed to new and interesting music lately that they feel the need to share, send it my way. Anything but mainstream, please ;)

Silence can be beautiful too, I think as I watch the voiceless wind carry drifts of snow softly through the air.
