post-thanksgiving

Alls I did was run, nap, and vacuum out my laptop keyboard. This thing has seen a lot of wee morning toast, and it is nice to have the g and a keys back without bang-banging them, but it’s hard to really call that a WORKday.

Lenny Kravitz – Can’t Get You Off My Mind

Eddie Vedder - Hard Sun This is from the Into the Wild soundtrack (book by Jon Krakauer):

If the day and the night are such that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more starry, more immortal – that is your success. All nature is your congratulation, and you have cause momentarily to bless yourself. The greatest gains and values are farthest from being appreciated. We easily come to doubt if they exist. We soon forget them. But they are the highest reality . . . The true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indestructible as the tints of morning or evening. It is a little star-dust caught, a segment of a rainbow which I have clutched. Thoreau-"Walden, or Life in the Woods"

I stand in awe of my body, this matter to which I am bound has become so strange to me. I fear not spirits, ghosts, of which I am one—that my body might—but I fear bodies, I tremble to meet them. What is this Titan that has possession of me? Talk of mysteries! Think of our life in nature—daily to be shown matter, to come in contact with it—rocks, trees, wind on our cheeks! The SOLID earth! The ACTUAL world! The COMMON sense! Contact! Contact! WHO are we? WHERE are we? Thoreau-"Ktaadn"

bonus track from DmS : "Always Be My Baby," Mariah Carey [the mood-name you’re looking for is girly(?)]
