"where are we and where do we
and where will we finally
trade our teeth for rays of wheat
to lay and sleep underneath
o love too eager to cross
o love we meet and you pause
o love too eager to cross
you see what you've lost?
the crazy streets, amazing grief
the taste of sweet offerings
the blazing heat, the naked beasts
great barrier reefs, all for thee
the waves at night all brave and bright
the dance hall lights, o all your life
to lay and weep, to trade our teeth
to aim and achieve grace and peace"
Sitting in bed, having a drink and being 100% okay with life right now. The song above is "Waves at Night" by Phosphorescent, and it turns out that it's the best companion to enjoying a nice bottle of wine by yourself. Or laying on the roof. Or cleaning your room. Basically, just get the damn album.
How's this for an update? Ha.
Anyway, I'm not dead or dying. Kind of on the verge of a big mental breakthrough (ICANFEELIT) because a lot of my very first friends here in Denton have graduated and are moving on to better places (i.e. Austin, Texas), and it just hit me recently that this whole phase of my life is and has been so temporary. Just another few years spent in a small town in this huge state, which is basically the way I view high school. How do you not lose touch with people? That's the question. The landscape's always changing I suppose. But I'm not ready. I mean, even with my parents, we've definitely become more distant. And I can't tell whether that's the logical progression in life or if it's just me still pushing my limits. Here's to posting at well after 3:00am when you're slated to work at 9:30am.
It's all heart and lungs.
