right now. listening to aretha franklin's "chain of fools"
i love the power of her voice.
the best music, is the kind where you know the artist has an expression as it's being recorded, not just singing or playing along, but feeling the music inside of their soul.
it gives you goosebumps.
tomorrow i'm driving to tallahassee, and i'm so excited.
i feel sort of like im drowning back home.
this is how it is:
you stick your big toe in the water in a pool. it feel alright. you cannonball right in. the water consumes you and you can feel the bubbles of oxygen popping off your skin underneath.. as you exhale a bit of air from your nostrils you open your eyes and the disoriented vision is somewhat breath taking.you paddle up to the surface and gasp. AHHH! oxygen. life. you smile. wipe your eyes. begin to tread water. but treading gets old, and tiresome. you love the water, but you're exhausted. your chest begins to burn. there's a piercing sharpness and your breath gets heavy. you begin to move your arms and legs, faster, faster. can you make it to the side? if you make it to the side and hang on you can enjoy the complete atmosphere within the comforts of this watery world.
i'm there.
