my tiny little brain
I have written of it before but there are albums I find that I can FEEL when I listen to them. I want to listen to them over and over again. There are two lately that have had this affect on me and they make me think about the curiosities of life and death and love and all the things that make us human.
They make me think about the people who want to deny all of it – avoid the human parts of life maybe because it is hard or because you can’t always know what will happen and yeah – sometimes it hurts. . . . They make me think about the people who embrace every bit of it and go out into the world as true to themselves as the day they were born. And they remind me that life is just as full of laughter and wonder as it is tears and pain.
I will admit to being that person who wants to be ok with all of it. I want to embrace every moment and be okay with it because what else can I do? It’s happening and I need to breathe deep and be thankful that I am here experiencing it. I think a lot about the why. . . what the hell are we doing? We eat and drink and sleep and reproduce. All the stuff that is bigger than that is imagined by these tiny little brains of ours. I am so small. This music reminds me of that.
