A Light Bulb Symphony

I finally went crazy and ordered this book online. My goodness. I've never been more excited for it to be October 1st in my life. :)) Ahhhh. A couple of reading updates: taking my time through The Tiger's Wife and also starting After Dark by Haruki Murakami (lent to me by my friend Lorri). :D What've you guys been reading? Let me know!

An Origin Story

So, I understand this isn't exactly music but I find that good spoken word usually has the same soothing effect on me. This is one from Sarah Kay & Phil Kaye--the founders of Project VOICE and two of my favorite spoken word poets. Their pieces are simple and are about a lot of everyday things but I find that because of that simplicity, their work hits home way more than sociopolitical things that I just can't seem to buy into. 

What I love about this piece is that it's about friendship and how friendships are so rare to find, really. Plus, the story of how these two met is really just crazy adorable. :)) Have a good morning! TGIF, everyone!
