Wow. I love this video. Wish I could have been there.

Beautiful

This is nothing new, but I saw this the other day and realized that I had forgotten how much I love everything about it.

This warms my heart…

Wow. These videos make me want to be a music teacher. I know this isn’t new, and I’m sorry if you’ve already seen it. If you have, it’s definitely worth seeing again!

I should have posted this a long time ago. These guys are so incredibly talented. Their first full length record, Barton Hollow, was released early this month. So good. It’s still number 1 in my iPod right now.

Lately…

I often have conversations with myself. It’s a bit strange, but it’s my way of processing things. One of my favorite things to do is reading old journal entries. I find it pretty entertaining to re-live a moment I thought was worth documenting. Sometimes the simplest observation or situation can create these moments when life seems to make more sense. The hardest part is remaining in that mindset day in and day out.

“I think things are changing. I think I’m learning something. I very much hope that I am. As I wait for my flight in the beautifully reconstructed terminal at the San Antonio International Airport, I can’t help but notice the love that I feel in this place. I’m in an open space full of complete strangers, but today the air is cool, the sun is warm, and hearts are light. I was made for days like these. It’s one of those days when for some reason I can feel an inherent goodness in the people around me, and it holds the power to melt away even the slightest trace of a cold heart. I’m joyful today. This is where I’m supposed to be. This is how I’m supposed to live. Maybe I’m starting to realize a simple truth that I should have figured out a very long time ago: Everyone is beautiful in such a unique and fascinating way, and everyone has their own incredibly interesting story. Even more, everyone has a story worth hearing. And maybe that’s what this life is all about. Intentionality. Real friendship. Refusing to see anything other than the good in people. Seeing people exactly how they are, appreciating the mystery of it, and loving them for exactly that. Stop committing to your dreams. Stop committing to the future. COMMIT TO TODAY. Everything I am. 100%. To the people I pass everyday. To the friends in my life. To those who need love the most. Be there. Don’t waste a second.”

Hello Again My Old Friend

Dear Iron and Wine,

I have known you for many years now, but I think I’m falling in love with you all over again. You have sung me to sleep every night this week. I appreciate your artistry and breathtaking melodies more than ever before.
