We'll take our hearts outside;
Leave our lives behind.
I watch the stars go out.

I do that quite often... Leave my life behind, and watch the stars going out. Taking my heart outside. If that sounds remotely miserable; it's not. It's one of the highlights of life. To just leave everything aside for a while and spend a few moments alone with the world... yes, you heard me: alone with the world. It's possible.

To everyone who has the smallest inkling of what I'm on about: wouldn't it be beautiful, to have a day when anyone who wants to can sit down on a certain hour, or half-hour or just... a certain time... and do just that....?? Have a totally quiet moment?? Once in a year... all around the globe.. for anyone who gets it. Not meditation, I find that term contradictory. Just... peace.

Peace. To watch the stars going out...

Everyone. and feel connected in getting lost in your own head.

Finding solace with yourself.

For no other purpose than to just have an excuse to indulge and say to people, "Go away. I'm being peaceful."

And then after it you can go back to whatever hectic/lazy lifestyle you lead; just to have that time of connection with completely unknown others.

Surely that doesn't sound THAT ridiculous???? I really feel guilty now, I haven't written/composed/practiced/done anything remotely productive in ages. I should get around to doing something...


Is it asking too much to be given time
To know these songs and to sing them.
Is it asking too much of my vacant smile,
And my laugh and lies that bring them.

As the stars are going out,
And this stage is full of nothing
And the friends have all but gone
For my life, my God I'm singing...
--Lacuna Coil, Stars
