Sometimes, when I can't sleep mostly, my mind will wander back to moments. Moments that I have replayed over and over again in my mind a countless number of times. Moments that I have gone back to so much that I am not even sure if all the details are what I remember or something I fashioned in my mind so much that I believe they really did happen. Moments that will stand out as big and important when I look back on my life in the future. Moments I wish I had lived in a little more. You see, sometimes these little moments are just that, something that happens and then you move on to the next one. But sometimes, we find out later on that those little moments are all that we have, and that those little moments are actually big moments in our lives. And then all you have is that little moment to go back to in your mind and you suddenly realize you should have been paying more attention, you should have realized that it was big, you should have lived in that moment right when it was happening. Because now you cant. Now all you can do is try to remember details and wonder what would have happened if you had only realized what that moment would mean someday. Sometimes, when I can't sleep mostly, my mind will wander back to a place and time that I will never be in again. I try to remember every detail so that I don't feel like the moment is slipping away as much. Sometimes, it's the little moments we hang onto the most.
I love music. It is everything good and happy and right with the world and at the same time can say even the saddest words with such elegance and grace. It can express my thoughts and emotions in way that I know I never could. It is the life-blood of my soul. It makes me happy. And it goes beyond anything I can explain in plain words...which is kinda the point. For me, country music (among a few other things) makes me feel like I am home, no matter what is going on in my life. It is simply fantastic, in fact two of my favorite quotes come from the movie August Rush. They are... "You know what music is? God's little reminder that there's something else besides us in this universe, a harmonic connection between all living beings, every where, even the stars." AND "I believe in music the way some people believe in fairy tales..." And if those two don't say it all then I don't know what will. They are simply perfect in my opinion, and are completel...
