Today marked my first run out to picnic point and back with no snow or ice on the path, and did it ever feel good! After what may be the longest winter ever in Wisconsin, it seemed like everybody was outside on this beautiful, sunny Spring day. I'm not sure the temperature even reached 60 degrees, but a bunch of people were having campfires and roasting smores, and I don't think they've ever smelled so good. Mmmmmmm.
There's just something about spring, the way it reminds you of how good it feels to be alive when you're not all covered up and hunkered down, and the way it promises three seasons worth of new adventures, that feels so incredible you can't quite remember how sweet it is until it shows up again, as it did today.
I picked this song to mark this day because it has that same dreamy, not quite real, remember how good it feels kinda quality:
Back when we had it
So easy
I would surrender
Completely
I built a shelter
For green beings
In the sun
In the sun
Around in the fields we grow
With love for everyone
Dreams we saw with eyes of hope
Until that dream was done
I used to be
So confused
Now you just want to
Say to you
I was just floating
On an inner tube
In the sun
In the sun
Around in the fields we grow
With love for everyone
Dreams we saw with eyes of hope
Until that dream was done

After being blown away by an exhibit where a man took a polaroid of himself every day for ten years, I started thinking of other ways to mark the passage of time in a meaningful way for both the artist doing the marking and those taking note. I find a lot of meaning in music, and enjoy writing about my experiences, so I decided to start a blog in which I mark (many of) my days by choosing a song that captures the day in some way (and a link, whenever possible, so you can listen to the song too).
