There is a unique stillness in those moments when you are certain there will be no interruptions...

I sat on the damp back steps with the last glimmers of twilight fading and watched the fireflies blinking so rapidly and in such profusion they seemed like flashbulbs in a stadium.

The air was heavy and the horizon misty. Colors faded into a blue-black palette, yet the bright yellow twinklings made tonight's entrance spectacular.

A beautiful, lonely night.

I have to post about this album on all my blogs... I just love it. If you haven't heard it you need (I mean NEED to). "The Story" by Brandi Carlile.

Here are the lyrics to another of my favorites... Track 2 -

"The Story"

All of these lines across my face

Tell you the story of who I am

So many stories of where I've been

And how I got to where I am

But these stories don't mean anything

When you've got no one to tell them to

It's true...I was made for you

-

I climbed across the mountain tops

Swam all across the ocean blue

I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules

But baby I broke them all for you

Because even when I was flat broke

You made me feel like a million bucks

Yeah you do and I was made for you

-

You see the smile that's on my mouth

Is hiding the words that don't come out

And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed

They don't know my head is a mess

No, they don't know who I really am

And they don't know what I've been through like you do

And I was made for you...
