Lyrical Life

I've started a handful of posts recently, but haven't finished any of them. I'm having trouble deciphering my own thoughts about anything these days- when I'm over-tired and over-caffeinated after recent travels, when my home state dominates national news in the worst way, when life decisions need to be made and I don't feel prepared to make them, when I worry my imagination has been dulled by 8hrs daily spent staring at cubicle walls lit by florescent lighting - here I sit, just not knowing.

What I do know is that the following song lyrics have been stuck in my head, so in the absence of my own thoughts, here are some from Sixpence and Patty G.:

"Tension is to be loved
when it is like a passing note
to a beautiful, beautiful chord."
-Sixpence None the Richer

"It's a mad mission
Under difficult conditions
not everybody makes it
To the loving cup
It's a mad mission
But I got the ambition
Mad, mad mission
sign me up."
-Patty Griffin

One other thing I know - it's quittin' time on a beautiful, sunny Friday afternoon! Park Avenue sprung alive just this week with spring plantings - who told them tulips were my favorite? Sweet, sweet weekend, thanks for getting here right on time.
