i am currently teetering somewhere between unnaturally alert and completely exhausted. prednisone. who doesn't love it? the med has this funny way of keeping me awake all night and getting me up way too early. with strangely vivid dreams in between. some make for very good story telling. and laughs from my brother jes. we went on a breakfast and barnes and noble date today (only today has now become yesterday...). i'm kind of in awe at how he's maturing. surely he can't be called "mature" yet, but my 12 yr old brother is wiser and kinder and more musically inclined than most kids his age, for sure. his talent on that keyboard has far surpassed my own, which isn't saying much, but hearing him play pieces he's recently started writing himself is really amazing for me.
just in general, mom and i both love passing along and sharing our love of music to him. which is why the carolina jazz festival was so cool for us as a family. mom and jes and i drove to cary to take it all in. i couldn't believe we were sitting in the fifth row of that amphitheatre watching boney james, randy crawford, michael franks, and jazz other greats perform! wow.
i particularly have been a michael franks fan, maybe not as long as mom, but definitely since she handed me his best of album a couple years ago. i am grateful for that. and for the ear and appreciation for good music that she's passed along to me and passes along to my brother. that, only after her spiritual guidance and encouragement are the most important things she could give me in... life.
okay, so this hiatus from tossing and turning has been beautiful, but i'm going to try to shut these eyes again.

i've been thinking...
most of the time change in life is more of a change in pace than any other kind of change. know what i mean?
sometimes there's a lot going on, sometimes a little. but usually it's the same kind of stuff.
well, to what extent that's true, or not true, it seems that way sometimes.
today i'm thankful for constancy. and there's only one Source of that in my life. guess that's my point.
