Merry Christmas! It has been awhile since my last post. Perhaps there is nothing that can take your mind off of things like a stress-filled 3 weeks or so on the road. Future of Forestry was having its Christmas Tour 2010 along with Kye Kye as the opener band. I think the tour taught me a lot of personal lessons about myself for which I am grateful. But it was definitely a tour where the feeling of disaster was always nearby. Trailer wheels blowing out, a van window getting busted, sliding into snow banks, replacing an entire trailer, driving through whiteouts, and torrential downpours. As fun as a lot of moments were, I'm so grateful it is over.
I was exposed to a lot of heart this tour. Hearing people's stories, or listening to music, I found that there was a special deepness in people that I was privileged to see. Tour gave me lots of time to think as well. About life, love, futures... there is nothing concrete to conclude on it~ but I suppose all that time gave me a chance to reflect. If only I could be as beautifully prosaic in song as some of the musicians I know. Today was the first chance I've had in awhile to just sit and rest. During an exhilarating chilly walk, my mind kept churning, but I felt peaceful getting a chance to actually take a breath and reflect.
Sometimes I wish I was brave enough to say the words I really want to say. But sometimes on days like this where I found a moment of peace~ I am happy to just be grateful where I am, with love freely given and received, and to be able to dream of the life that I want to live.
