I Wish I Was the Moon

Full Moon outside my bedroom window last night!

Today is the official first day of summer and I'm soooo glad.

So many things to be grateful for today, among them:

-My new job at the University!
-Fabulous weather
-My Ashtanga practice's new home
-Practicing tonight with this amazing teacher
-Dining out tonight with this amazing woman
-Riding home with the moon to light my path

I don't ever super understand Neko Case's lyrics, but I wanted a song about the moon and I can definitely relate to being super tired -- that's what happens when you combine parenting teenagers and early morning yoga practices!

Chimney falls and lovers blaze
Thought that I was young
Now I've freezing hands and bloodless veins
As numb as I've become

I'm so tired
I wish I was the moon tonight

Last night I dreamt I had forgotten my name
'Cause I had sold my soul but awoke just the same
I'm so lonely
I wish I was the moon tonight

God blessed me, I'm a free man
With no place free to go
I'm paralyzed and collared-tight
No pills for what I fear

This is crazy
I wish I was the moon tonight

Chimney falls and lovers blaze
Thought that I was young
Now I've freezing hands & bloodless veins
As numb as I've become

I'm so tired,
I wish I was the moon tonight

How will you know if you found me at least
'Cause I'll be the one, be the one, be the one
With my heart in my lap
I'm so tired, I'm so tired
I wish I was the moon tonight
