breakdown

on tuesday night, i took the greyhound from red deer to calgary. returning from camp is never easy, and on the drive to red deer i heard a song that helped me better understand why it's so hard to leave:

breakdown
jack johnson

i hope this old train breaks down then i could take a walk around
see what there is to see, time is just a melody
with all the people in the street walking fast as their feet
can take them, i just roll through town
and though my window's got a view, well the frame i'm looking through
seems to have no concern for now
so for now i

i need this here old train to breakdown
oh please just let me please just breakdown

[snip]

i got to break on down
but i can't stop now

so, first of all, i love brett because he introduces me to random things i wouldn't otherwise be exposed to. and a lot of that random stuff is amazing. like this song. secondly, this song is so where i am right now. wishing life would slow down, and willing to hope for a breakdown, but not willing to actually stop, myself. when the expressway closes down and i have to take side roads, i get to drive into the sun, enjoy laughter and prayer and tears. that's what i'm about.

just fyi.
