if you could Just Let Go. @ 4:25 PM

I'm still stuck on Mae, their lyrics, the melody...

We've got all night just to make it all right
Would you take a walk with me?
I'll give you all I've got just spare me your time
And I promise you won't want to leave
Are you, are you falling for me?
This time, we'll find what we both need

There's an old oak tree
We can swing and sway
We'll lock arms and legs (You're so far away)
When I look at you
You're so far away
Oh so far away
Oh if you could you just let go

[thanks for introducing me to this song, Bianca. I melted when they played this live.]

This is it. I just got here, and I'm leaving again. I don't know where I ever got the idea that I'll be satisfied as an eternal traveler, a wanderer without a particular destination. I used to have these dreams of uprooting myself from one city to another, getting to know the places/people/culture and leaving just before I fall in love. It would be the safe road to never missing anything, I thought. But juggling 3 distinctly and geographically separate places, especially if you love someplace/person/thing unique about each one, it makes it impossible to look forward to leaving. I know I will feel this again in August; I can just see me on a hammock, sipping juice straight from a coconut, writing another emotional blog and hating on the feeling of nostalgia. :(

Here's to a satisfying summer. May you discover/feel whatever it is you are looking for (I'm just trying to discover home). As for me, I'll be on the other side of the world, but you know where to find me. If you search enough, I am with the whispers of the wind. :)
