It makes me want to write. Mmmm, it makes me want to smile, and I don't just mean smile, but smiiile, where you feel it in your cheeks and where you cannot keep your lips together, you just feel the need to spread them and laugh and smile until it hurts, there is something about the sun that makes me realize just how great it is to be alive and feel like you are alive, like you are a living breathing organism, that sounds so scientific, but it so true. I think one of the best things in the world is when you realize that you are infact this complicated system of little parts that make you up...sublime.
I do not know why I no longer find time to write. I do not know why I no longer take the time to observe and have those curious moments I used to write about. I miss that, I really do. It's not that they don't happen but I have a tendency to focus too much on things that only cause me worry. I wish I could find the cure for that. I think that we only ever feel like we are alive when we find the time to do the things we really like, or when we find that we have purpose for something, not just passing classes and memorizing formulas that will not help you in the really important moments of our lives.
I have been reading this book, it is called, The House of Spirits by Isabel Allende, I highly recommend it. It goes through generations of the same family and basically, it talks about the wonders of life, the unexpected and about love. Pretty much after each chapter the first thing that comes into your mind is...huh...what are the odds!?
I highly recommend it.
I am still utterly in love with David Gray, I think he is one of the best artists out there and I don't think I will ever grow tired of listening to his songs and wise little phrases that say more than a whole book could.
