My thoughts during August, 2005

Surfing sights

In Passing…
A sample:
“The light we see now left the sun 8 minutes ago. So if the sun goes out, we’ve got 8 minutes of light left. Before it gets friggin’ cold…

Wrinkle in Time

It just takes a moment,
a split second without restraint
and all the walls
seem made of glass.
Even in the dark
the images whirl blindingly.
No sense of order,
a timeless recall…

Katrina afterthoughts

Watching all the reports on Hurricane Katrina over the last couple days, I have seen and heard a few things that bugged me:

Constant mention of the conditions going downhill is silly…

Interesting stuff…

We’ve all been in that situation where we are forced by proximity to overhear a detailed conversation being held by a stranger on their cell phone…

The truly creative mind

(by Pearl Buck) 
The truly creative mind in any field
is no more than this
A human creature born abnormally,
inhumanly sensitive…

1st week home

Empty suitcases
Piles on chairs
New bookshelf
Late night practice
Printing surveys
Bags of rubbish
Get hair done
Opening night
Lost phone numbers
Rediscovered TV
New bedspread
Working concert
Counting surveys
Where’s my desk…

And it’s over…

It’s amazing how things that we spend so much time preparing for seem to vanish in an instant. The band spent 7 1/2 months learning songs and rehearsing, with many late nights…

From a distance…

I have watched you grow
Seen you shine when you do well
I have seen your disaapointments
And the thrills of success
It is so hard to not come to your side
To help you through these times
But know that I am with you always
In my heart and in my mind
I take each step with you
Knowing deep in my heart
That you will be stronger going it alone
With me watching from afar
Tonight’s show was great…

Music is…

The soundtrack to my dreams
Sweet strains behind closed curtains
The rhythm for my feet
To never stop moving
The trigger for my memories
Each name sings its song
The songs from my soul
Carrying me from womb to grave
GREAT SHOW GUYS
