Lyrical Wisdom

"There's too much doubt and not enough dare
There's too much decision everywhere
There's too much talk and not enough time
Let's close our eyes and not our minds"

--Teitur, "You're the Ocean"

I guess time off from our everyday stresses does a mind good =). I've been doing a lot of exploring myself lately, trying to find things that excite me and follow through with them. There's so much confusion in life, wondering if we're making the right choices, talking about going places and doing things and never really doing them, always saying "I just don't have enough time".

Teitur voices two sides and is attempting to find that middle ground where love lurks. Yet, there seems to be more to the tale...it seems to bring forth a challenge, daring us to dream, to love, look past logic or reason and as Nike says it, "just do it".

Well, my mind is open...the execution is just a bit more difficult for me ;).
I want to go white water rafting (aha, research is being done, I might do this one!). I want to visit the Greek Isles and soak up all the beauty there. I want to run a marathon. I want to write children's books. I want to read more. I want to play jazz piano. I want to learn how to ballroom dance. I want to not be fearful of the crickets I feed to Benny and Joon. I want to be more domestic. I want to be more thoughtful of others. I want to be a teacher who excites, compels, motivates, and inspires. I want to be a kid at heart forever ;).

Ah well, that's as deep as I go ;).
You know, sometimes I'll watch these "won't ever happen in real life" romantic comedies and think about my realistic expectations in a partner...and I can't honestly expect qualities from someone that I don't possess myself, right? I think I've got some work to do ;)
