I decided to "Shuffle" my iPod this morning on the way to class instead of listening to my normal playlist...it started off with some Muse, then transitioned into a lower-key, Joshua Radin tune. Nostalgic to say the least!
Hmm. So let's see here...the past month has been pretty friggin good :) I look back on the past 30 days and I can't help but just smile.
It is seriously my dream to have a night where the night sky is perfectly clear, there is snow everywhere around me, and I'm curled up in a (really warm) blanket with some form of hot beverage in my hand just looking up at the night sky. I don't know what it is about star-gazing that gets me, but it does. I could lay under the stars for hours if I'm in the right mood and be perfectly content with life.
This might be a stretch, but I think that stars are a good reflection of people. You can look at them as a whole (the entire night sky/the entire human race), a portion (a section of the sky/ a constellation/a more defined group of people), or singularly (one star/one person). Each view can offer a different perspective. Some look better & fit better in a group than others, even though they're all in the same general area. No matter what, each individual is beautiful and distinct. Some stand out, and others fade further into the background - but each is necessary for the whole picture to work.
I think I just got way too simile-y for my own good...but it was an interesting thought that ran through my mind this afternoon.
Made me think of this picture I took at the Jack Johnson concert at the Gorge in October. This is during his song "Constellations" - so pretty, and fitting.
