Marveling! Marvelous.


I have something to say, and I'm only going to say it once: there are some things in life I will never understand, and the human brain is one of them. What a remarkable piece of matter we are working with up there in our noggins. How could we possibly EVER fathom the capacity we have with our brains? We can't! There is no way. How could I wake up, know what my body needs, use my brain to make my world function, understand and intake information, cook eggs and bacon, communicate, reason and debate and empathize and ponder and find amusement... how? How how how? What a system...

I love colors. I love that my eyes can interpret them and that they resonate within me. I was in the tub the other night and I experienced indigo (without the use of hallucinogenic drugs). My thoughts have been indigo.... I'm a hippie? So sue me. Then go try to be indigo.

If I could keep one moment from my day forever and ever, it would be this: assembling crappy shelves from Smith's while listening to Sigur Ros. I was somehow able to THINK of harmony, DESIRE it, intake breath, let it back through my epiglottis, use it to resonate in my bones, let it be articulated, and sing. What a miracle.

If there is one thing I regret most in the last month it is this: dropping my phone last night and losing ALL OF MY NOTES that I had recorded in my phone in the past 8 months. All my quotes. All my to-do lists. All my motivational messages. All my thoughts I had recorded in there. It really, really bums me out.

"In other words, I should say, there are no words."
