Anyone remember that song? I know my AK girl got it because we listened to Jewel enough as girls in Alaska that we know all the lyrics by heart. Yes, it’s a lyric from one of Jewel’s songs – I think “Morning Song” but I was never too great at titles. Actually, now that I’ve become enamored of finding things on you tube and posting them – maybe I’ll find it by the end of the post.
I have to be totally honest and tell you that I’ve taken today’s thought from an inspiring email that my friend sent me. Mainly because I am not feeling inspired this morning. I think that I see and feel the world and my own world through music. So I can literally hear a song and become blissfully happy or hear and song and become ridiculously heartbroken for like, the 100th time. Yesterday was the latter and I didn’t get a whole hell of a lot done. This morning I’m rallying – but just do not feel inspired or really all that upbeat. So I went through some emails and saw this quote my friend had sent. And it was the first thing I saw this morning that kind of jumped out at me. Hope you enjoy it! And try not to have a case of the Mondays (Office Space, anyone? Anyone?).
“I disregard the proportions, the measures, the tempo of the ordinary world. I refuse to live in the ordinary world as ordinary women. To enter ordinary relationships. I want ecstasy. I am a neurotic — in the sense that I live in my world. I will not adjust myself to the world.. I am adjusted to myself.”
