Wow..
Every once in a while.. I just get in a mood to write. I guess tonight is one of those nights.
There've been a lot of weird things going on lately.. Not bad weird.. Just.. weird.
I have so many concerts coming up .. and even though it's um, making me VERY broke.. it has cheered me up way more than I have words for. There's something about live music ... good live music ... that rejuvenates me. Knowing the caliber of shows that I have coming up... my mood has improved considerably. Maroon 5, Gavin DeGraw, Marc Broussard, Michael Tolcher.. John Mayer..
This trip to Orlando .. I'm making it for a Maroon5 show, crazy, I know, may be one of the better things to happen since May. May, the first road trip, is what ruined me. I was buzzing along through tax season, just fine... then the road trip.. and then ... blah.
Oh, sure, there've been some highlights. A couple trips to Bloomington, a couple fun nights in the car.. an amazing June conference. Some wonderful conversations with beautiful people..
There are some conversations I just can't get out of my head, though. You know, those ones that you just keep replaying, over and over... trying to take it at face value, not reading too much into it... and yet wanting to comprehend every single word for exactly what it means. There's something so stirring .. about those conversations. The pieces that repeat constantly - the phrases that enter your head at a precisely inopportune moment.
The conversations that keep me awake at night, lately ... are those that I hope for the most from. There's something so perfect about the situations.. the timing.. the players. There is, of course, potential for something to go haywire. I think that potential is slight. Not enough to be of any concern.
I struggle sometimes with who needs to know what .... how much do I pass along, and what do I hold back? What is relevant, and what is better left unsaid? What situations require disclosure... and what is more safely kept to myself?
