Life, Music, and The Human Condition

Friends

It is only in your eyes that I see my image

It is only in your words that I find my voice

It is only in your struggle that I find my strength

It is only in your faith that I find something to believe

It is only in your smile that I find this happiness

It is only in your heart that I feel this love

It is only in you that I find me.

I find myself truly and completely in the presence of those I care about. I could not imagine existing any other way. The smile I may occasionally bring to your face is at the very top of my short list of accomplishments. These are the highest points in life, this communion. This laughter. I feel that in these exact moments, we realize our destiny. When there is no me, no you. When there is only everything, and it is beautiful.
