Gravity

I am apparently on an over-played Pop music kick. I did a couple days of Winterpills, the Stills, Willie Nelson, Portishead and some Explosions and then for some reason Sara Bareilles Gravity has gripped me today. I have been incredibly struck by the line;

You love because I'm fragile,
And I thought that I was strong.

Sigh.

Speaking of gravity. AJ doesn't believe in gravity. You may not be able to read this unbelief in her blip, but it's true. Maybe that's what I like so much about the song. I'm in a passive aggressive argument with my roommate about the existence of gravity.

I had a lovely evening with Bex. We went to Kaiser Soze to celebrate the exchange of her house, and thus total closure of the relationship that the house represented. I hadn't been since last night... Same salad. Different wine.

AJ came and joined and then we walked down this little street, one of my favorites in our neighborhood. Bex to home for a very peaceful night's sleep, and AJ and I stopped at Hakesher Markt for a döner kebab. And thus the continual chorus of the Flight of the Conchords song, Part-time Model... "I'll buy you a kebab! I can't believe that I'm sharing a kebab with the most beautiful girl that I have ever seen with a kebab." Except we were missing the two guys to sing it to us. C'est la vie.

All said and done. It's been a breathe deep and sigh big kind of day. Feeling deeply thankful for my life here. My friends. Providential goodness to me... There is no sweeter feeling than knowing all is not perfect and yet somehow, there is still a deep, sweet contentment. Even if this little bit of sanity lasts but a moment, I am so thankful for the moment.
