the most of it...
today:
wind in the hair walking across a bridge, crickets at night, children and parents catching crawfish-like animals with office supplies, being served tea by women in kimonos while a boy in an orange t-shirt and white baseball hat clutching a luigi doll tries to pop bubbles, granola with squash, a manga mascot with a lightning bolt hat trying on a boy's LA Dodgers baseball hat before mascot goes onstage.
some thoughts courtesy ipod 'shuffle' mode (including two old favorites that were written dozens of times in high school notebooks that still made me write them down again when i heard them today):
'what do they know anyway you read it in a book.'
'it only happens once in a lifetime, make the most of it.'
'things you could do, you won't, but you might. the potential you'll be you'll never see. promises you'll only make.'
'for he who loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love god whom he hath not seen?'
'not that we loved god, but that he loved us.'
'celebrate we will for life is short but sweet for certain.'
'and in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make.'
'nobody's right if everybody's wrong.'
'and in your eyes i see what's on my mind.'
'i saw a shadow touch a shadow's hand.'
(i feel like i might be a little old to be posting lyrics to a song on my blog - 'my blog' said all crazy - but it's my blog, and when this song came on i just wanted to write it all down... so, um, instead I copied and pasted it from lyricsfreak.com.)
'another mystery' dar williams
Get off your cat walk, I want you to talk
To be the seer instead of the seen
There is a flower, a leaning tower
And all of the wonders standing between
I don't want to be another mystery
I don't want to see who's looking at me
I want to be the one to feel the sun
So if you want to see the world with me lets go
The alligator, the God that made her
And all the creatures that got left behind
In Mycenae, ave Maria
And everything you gotta dig harder to find
I don't want to be a vapor of heavenly light
Everybody guess if I'm an angel or sprite
I don't want to be another mystery
I don't want to see who's looking at me
I want to be the one to feel the sun
So if you want to see the world with me lets go
You could pursue it, hell I could do it
I'll just be quiet when I get angry and hurt
I'm stopping traffic, cinemagraphic
With my long black coat hanging down in the dirt
And my hair clinging to my face in the rain
Like a goddess from the cult of beautiful pain
I don't want to be another mystery
I don't want to be another mystery
I could cut you off with a shoulder of stone
Smoke all night and leave the party alone
Screw myself with an inscrutable pout
But I just want you to come figure me out
I don't want to be another mystery
I don't want to see who's looking at me
I want to be the one to feel the sun
So if you want to see the world with me lets go
