Melancholy Meanderings in Atlanta

I have had another interesting day out here in Atlanta - it's been good and refreshing but also tiring if it can be both? I have gone through the spectrum of emotions and thoughts, explored new ideas and revisited old ones, and I am realizing that although I love what I do, I have so much more to explore in this world.

It has been a full day of seminars, hearing bands, and hearing some excellent communicators but I'm missing my family and wonder if I am where I should be right now. Somethings seem so complicated when it should be much more simple.

Listening. Breathing. Loving. Playing. Exploring. I don't use enough one word sentences in my life apparently. I need more time to pause, more time to reflect, more time to process where I'm going, how I'm getting there, and who I'm taking with on this journey.

I've always thought in pictures and when I hear people speak I often hear songs along with the images. I've gone through the gamut of song triggers today as well...Death Cab's I will Follow You In The Dark, Smashing Pumpkins' Rat in a Cage, U2's I Will Follow & 40, The Police's Message in a Bottle - I don't even need my iPod apparently - my playlist kicks in without any play button. Ironic because I have no idea where I lost my Shuffle. Oh here's another song: Stepping Deeper Into Mystery - Closer to the Light by Bruce Cockburn.

Hmm...are my musings wandering enough?
