I say cool beans way too much… but if you ever wanted to know why…

In honor of my trip to France in May. :)

When I was little I wanted to live until I was exactly 103 years old. I figured that was a good round figure. I was afraid that dying any sooner would make my life too short. It’s funny how differently I measure the success of my life now. Not in numbers, but what I will have accrued in accomplishments. I wonder if my scales will change again.

Break the ocean into two and I’ll know what to do
Bring me closer to you and I’ll know what to do

I’m just looking for shelter
You’re just holding my hand if I hold you
You don’t have to belong here
We’ll just know when it’s right

“Wings”

There’s a thick cloak of smoke over the room and I can’t help but find myself fascinated by the path I make. A jazz bass causes an earthquake that shimmies up my body. I love the infection of music that pauses my heart just long enough for the deflection of connection between it and my brain. Just long enough for me to be set free. I’m now fully awake and this wooly coat and velvet cap are shed like the threads of my past- like a cocoon. While the instruments are in tune and I have control of the room from my spotlight on stage, the final transformation is made: I spread my wings and all inhibitions thrown away, I sing.
