Taking time to smell the roses.... (or whatever)

I always hope to get around to making a huge "what I did this weekend" post and somehow rarely seem to find the time, but this I must mention before it's lost forever ( Read more... )

I didn't want to embarrass you by writing or saying so, but it was extremely cool to see those tears which I knew were joy because you were smiling too :)
How's that for a long sentence?
Happy day!

I weep. It's what I do and I've given over being embarrassed about it or anything. If I'm *that* happy, I just lose it! Music evokes so very, very many memories for me! I may be sitting in an audience listening to a song, but inside my head memories are triggered, and the songs I'm hearing live, and the songs that are inside my head sometimes merge together and the whole thing becomes just incredible! It can be anything, really. Sometimes it's remembering the first time I ever heard a song, sometimes it's a memory of some semi-random special event when I heard a song one particular time in the past, and sometimes it's the awe and wonder and the awareness that I never ever will forget THIS moment, and that every time I ever hear THIS song ever again in the future I'll be reminded of Right Now ( ... )

That is why we play.

And that is why I'll happily drive 700 miles in a weekend and incur the associated fuel/food/lodging expenses. What price "happiness of soul", eh? The biggest "cost" I've ever found is "time", darn-it! Were there such things as teleporters, I'd be around up there a LOT more...
