*This* song

On the way to Calero County Park.  March, 2014.

So I know I get variously obsessed with songs and I think they are the end-sum-total of all meaning and song-i-ness for all time...

And yet...

THIS song.  For this blog.  For this moment.  Yup.  Here's the link, and excerpts from the lyrics.  Go listen.

All the Way - MaMuse

"It's just the way that it is
Nothin' more, nothin' less
All these stories, tears, and laughter
No more happy ever after all
What you get is what you make of it
I guess
In the end a new beginning
One for life,
A life worth living...

Place your heart in its nest
It belongs in your chest
Just a sack of blood and muscle
It belongs here, it belongs here
Not, to give away, 
but to stay
And light this fire
Fire one, fire two
Take a shot at something new
Aim your arrow straight and clear
Be surprised at what appears."

From texts with a friend...

There is taking - hard, and fierce, and violent like I need.  And then there is loving - real and intelligent and authentic and evolving.  And sometimes I feel like never the twain shall meet, and so I shall die of loneliness.  But really, how are you?
