The Power of the Perfect Song

This was a week! I can't say it was a tough week because nothing really bad happened and I definitely can't say it was a hard week because I only actually worked maybe a 1/4 of my scheduled hours, but man was it a week. One of those emotionally draining, life questioning weeks. It was so for reasons I don't really feel like writing about here (see the previous post and you get the idea), but it definitely took its toll when I got home this evening.

So I did what you do when you live out here in the Bay Area and need a revived spirit. Grab the iPod, and head out for a walk along the shoreline. I can't tell you how refreshing it was and how the combination of soundtrack with nature's absolute beauty was just the exact uplift needed. It always amazes me how that one song or combination of songs at the right moment can just bring back the spirit like the much needed irrigation of the dried soul. I'm not sure which song it was precisely, but it was definitely something from The Boss. (Bruce Springsteen for all the not so muches reading the blog)

Plus how can you not feel better when you have the Bay right outside your door and a beautiful walk to take your mind off of things. It was nature, life, and music in perfect alignment and its uplifting power was imense. I did also see one of the most sureal sights I have witnessed since the move out here. The East Bay is always known to be sunnier than the city itself, which usually is engulfed in a blanket of fog, but this evening as I walked back to my apartment, and looked across the Bay to view the normally shining city I was stunned by what I didn't see. The fog was so thick covering San Francisco that the city practically vanished from the horizon. As I looked out across the Bay, I saw a clouded abyss expanding to the depths of infinite unknown. Truly an amazing sight and the power that nature has in affecting our own known perception. An added treat for a lovely walk and a much needed uplift in spirit. So now I feel a lot better and have a sly smile on my face, a good beat in my head, a an extra little thump in my heart. Till next time, I will blog with you later.
