song of the day

Right now it's "Bridge over troubled water"

A good day so far. Woke up 4 hours before I needed to and couldn't get back to sleep for about an hour, then had trouble waking up when it was time. Pretty common simptom for me. Got up in time though, despite feeling like life weighed 1000 pounds. Beth made me breakfast, YAY BETH, you rock! Made it out the door and was early for the bus, had easy calls, and am currently not completely losing at Risk. Whee.

"write a letter and mail it to yourself..."

I've got a Streetnix song in my head. Well, the original is from Northern Pikes. but it's in my head and it's not getting out. I guess having fragments of the song repeating sequentially in my mind is a nice respite from yesterday, when the song in my head consisted of a single phrase repeated over and over for hours on end until I wanted nothing more than to silence my mind.

The song is called "Hopes Go Astray", and you can find the lyrics here.

they seem to fit very well.

The journey begins again

I have discovered that I am headed back into my old inferno; The bow of my spirit is on a collision course with a mighty storm and a rocky shoal, and the rudder has seized.

Since I've recognized the beginning of my downward spiral, I've decided to chronicle my descent into darkness, and my resurrected joy when I emerge on the other side, wounded and scarred, but intact. I know I will emerge because I have before. The dark night of the soul, though filled with despair and blindness, is not never-ending. I shall cling to that knowledge, for it will allow me to survive.
