Colour in my mind.

It’s hot, so hot I spent all day half naked at the lake shore, occasionally taking a dip in the muddy water. I come home, order pizza, grab a beer and ponder about which party to visit later – today is party day, everywhere.

While ordering pizza I saw an email in my Mail program. I also saw who it was from and I felt… excited in a strange way. Like I knew it would be good, once I read it.

I finish my beer. My room mate heads in the shower. Then I read the long email.

Quite recently I sent a long letter myself to someone I care for so much it drives me insane somedays. I never received a reply. Reading this email I pick up on feelings I put in my own letter. But this one is beautiful, it doesn’t hurt as much. It makes me feel very light and happy. It reflects my thoughts and it feels delicate. Like if I could take it in my hands I would cherish it and carefully place it on a shelf. Much in a way others would treat a beautiful rare shell they found.

These sort of letters I sent out and rarely receive, and when I do I feel like the sun outside is not burning me up anymore. I feel like it is reigniting a little light that I should take much more care of.

To make this email even more precious there is music in there. Music by an artist who I know and very much appreciate. I sit here listening to one of the songs he mentioned. I have my head phones on. They guide the beautiful guitar strums right to my ears. That’s why I started this blogpost. Because when the song started everything else vanished. All I feel is the breeze. It swifts right into our trap that we built by opening all windows and doors. It lost its way in here and plays with my hair while trying to escape this maze of rooms. They are untidy in part, undecorated in the other part.

Then harmonies fill my head. I don’t see, I don’t feel hot. I forget the pizza I ordered. I feel light and equally heavy. The music streams through me. The guitar is a beautiful, powerful and gentle instrument. So perfectly manipulated in this song. I feel emotional. Very emotional. Maybe because of the letter, or because my headphones are such beautiful transmitters of these sounds. Mainly though I think it’s because I am proud.
I have no reason to be. I barely know this man. I know little about where he came from, not of his personal growth. To me it feels like he came such a long way. It could be me not having seen his full potential. It could be me being proud of what I created through his inspiration. It could be me simply feeling so grateful to know a person who is thoughtful, talented and inspiring.


I tell you this, because this music is opening my heart right now. I tell you this, because I feel touched by someone I haven’t seen in over a year or spoken to in half of it. Distance and time are nothing. Not to me. You are wonderful. If I don’t talk to you, that’s nothing. I care for you.
So many of my friends live so very far away and I need them to know, I need you to know if you read this, that I care. However magnificent it is, there is no long letter needed. Just say hi and I will smile and I will be grateful you thought of me. I hope that when I don’t send you a long letter you will still know I love you either way. Because that’s what I do.

  9. Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more
    than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and all.

    But just imagine if you added some great photos

  15. My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.

    I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a number of websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform.

    there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it?
    Any kind of help would be really appreciated!

  19. Hmm is anyone else having problems with the pictures on this blog loading?

    I’m trying to determine if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog.
    Any responses would be greatly appreciated.

  20. You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this
    topic to be really something that I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next
    post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!

  21. I think that everything said was very reasonable.
    However, think on this, what if you were to write a awesome post title?
    I am not suggesting your content isn’t solid, but suppose you added a post title to maybe get folk’s attention? I mean Colour in my mind.

    | Passion for Happiness is kinda vanilla. You should look
    at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create news headlines to grab people to
    click. You might try adding a video or a related picture or two to grab readers excited about everything’ve written. In my opinion, it could make your posts a little livelier.

  22. You are so interesting! I don’t think I’ve read through something like this before.
    So great to discover someone with some unique thoughts on this topic.

    Seriously.. thanks for starting this up. This site is something that is required on the web, someone with a little originality!

  23. I have read so many articles concerning the blogger lovers except this article is really a pleasant article, keep it up.
