Happiness is the note with which I would like to begin this new approach to my journal. Why is that? Is there something that needs to be affirmed? Perhaps far too many things remain unsaid. Life is still beautiful. Lyrical Ballads sung by lovely women still drive me crazy in a good way. My heart beats just as strongly or just as meekly when I play Tori Amos. I spend so much time alone. And I miss my friends all the time. Even they who are just a phone call away. As you can see, I am still alive. Almost starting to feel eloquent, just a little bit.
I'm not feeling quite poetic enough to overcome so many moments of speechlessness. Oftentimes, my hands type too slowly for the words I speak; my mouth speaks too slowly for the thoughts I am having. Even more often, my heart is just standing still. At this stage of my life, it feels like I've got to be ready for anything. Something's happening to me, and at it's peak intensity there's often no one to talk it over with. Tell me about something beautiful, something that will keep me warm when I finally overstay my welcome. "I'd go there If I knew how to get there."
"Journal" I am to write in here throughout this electric time! Energy comes from both positive and negative experience. Life is just so "charged" sometimes. "It's the music," someone once told me. It means so much more to me now than when I first heard those words... Music allows me to approach many new feelings that would have otheriwse been inaudible. Many speechless details come by, and my heart often goes out to meet them in speechless ways; whether it is taking time to press a loving palm upon some soft ground or watching elevated pine trees touch the rich yellow glow of the sun. My understanding of the past and (often struggling) hope for the future, gives the present its current "will to fullness"
