Day 23.

I frequently think about people who have made huge impacts on my small life, and often those thoughts spill out of my mouth to the nearest person who is willing to listen. This morning my thoughts have been drowned in remembered music, the music of one person who I almost know. I have spent countless hours letting this person's thoughts influence my own, letting him transport me to the far away magical places that could only be  the product of our combined imaginations. I have heard in his music the sound of pure joy and happiness, longing, patience, satisfaction, wonder, awe, hope, and faith, and been captivated in all of that those sounds mean and feel. With those songs I have wondered what color the perfect twilight would be. I've imagined being so deep under water, far below where sun light reaches, and experiencing a brightness that could never exist on the earth's surface. I have felt the wind on my face as I soared in the air over the whole world and watched people staring up at me in wonder. With those songs I have laughed and been the happiest I can remember, but also I have cried and felt more pain than I care to now properly recall. To those songs I have fallen asleep and forced myself to stay awake. I have stayed as still as I possibly could and moved as quickly as my insufficient body would allow me to. Some may argue that his music isn't very good, that it is too similar to pop and is not real art. It is made with electronics, not with actual instruments. That it isn't music. However, I beg to differ. He has made a huge impact on my life through his music, his art, the reflection of who in essence he is. I am so thankful for his influence. I simply cannot wait until May 17 when his new album comes out. Where will we go? Where will he take me and what emotions and thoughts will I experience? Where will he demand I cross the boundaries of my limited imagination into wondrous places everyone should be in awe of? After being taken to the brightest depths of the ocean and the highest parts of the sky, I am terribly excited to discover where he will take me next.
