If you have Bela Fleck's LIVE ART cd, you need to listen to the song Bigfoot while looking at this post. (I'm serious. It's my blog, so my rules.) If you don't have the cd, then you can copy and paste this link into your browser: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzk_NTjC2l0
Sadly, it is not the complete song, but it will do. (you are missing the best part, however, not to mention like 20 other brilliant songs. you should get the cd)
Secondly, you should imagine running up a hill in canvas sneakers and blue jeans through about a foot and a half of *really cold* crusty snow. that's what i did to get these pictures - racing the curve of the earth.
Third, you should read this poem, even though it is the ... second and a half time that I've posted it on here. :)
Finally will it not be enough,
after much living, after
much love, after much dying
of those you have loved,
to sit on the porch near sundown
with your eyes simply open,
watching the wind shape the clouds
into the shapes of clouds?
Even then you will remember
the history of love, shaped
in the shapes of flesh, everchanging
as the clouds that pass, the blessed
yearning of body for body,
unending light.
You will remember, watching
the clouds, the future of love.
...you will remember, watching the clouds, the future of love.
