i wrote a fairly negative and slightly grumpy entry and deleted it. i decided that expelling my frustration to the universe isn't going to help me any. i'm just not having a good day today for various reasons. i need to focus my energy elsewhere for a moment.

so, instead, i am going to tell you about a particularly beautiful moment from yesterday afternoon...

(before you read this, if you have the track almost is nearly always enough by tortoise please take a listen)

i was sitting in my living room with a window wide open due to the heat and the sun. by my side was one of my best friends. we were drinking warm tea and letting the sunshine fill our world. as i listened to her soft voice, i watched the cherry blossoms out of the window. there seemed to be a strong breeze that would whip up at a moment's notice and shake the petals from the branches in waves, riding on the hot spring time air.

the sky was filled with a white shroud, tinted with pink and glittering in the afternoon light. taking it in, slowly, closing my eyes and breathing the smells that only come from warm tea and warm air. as i opened my eyes a flurry of petals blew in through the open window and settled on the furniture. as they moved out of the light it was as if they disintegrated from reality.

it's the moments like these that i treasure and keep close to my heart. every day i feel overwhelmed by the fact that i am lucky to experience the life that i have, and even on a particularly frustrating day like today closing my eyes and reliving these moments reminds me that everything will be okay. we'll all ride the storms like we have many times and we'll come out the other end with a few more tatters and tears but a lot more strength and more heart than the world can contain.





i normally dislike spring, but so far i am really enjoying spring in vancouver.

thank you for all the comments and feedback on Archie's set. I really appreciate it and it's good to know so many people can really see the difference in film and like it.

I saw Eels last night. Thought of you. It was a really great show, just E and one sideman.

Tortoise was making a home in the severely neglected section of my collection... even with a ridiculous amount of spring snow on the ground it was time for it to come out. Thanks.

If you like _interesting_ jazz, such as Tortoise you might want to check out a local Van band Fond of Tigers. They are rather intense. Cheers!
