“One More Cup of Coffee” by Bob Dylan

The more I listen to this album, the more I am mesmerized by the violin and by the vocals of Emmylou Harris. The entire album is a prime example of how, when taken individually, the songs seem random and not necessarily among Dylan’s strongest, but when taken together, they form a more cohesive set of stories, more concretely linked by their musical similarities. Accomplishing something like this takes more than just songwriting skill or musical talent: it takes vision.

Miya Folick – “Talking with Strangers”

today I talked to a semi-stranger a girl that I sorta know but every encounter at the corner grocery holds potential for our relationship to grow and half of my brain was totally afraid that she’d hate me, never want to see me again and half of my brain was equally afraid that she’d like me, want to be my friend

I am learning to love I am learning to let myself be loved how did I miss this lesson when I was young? how did I miss this lesson when I was young? how did I miss this lesson when I was young?

yesterday I was anxious and alone so I called a friend to make me feel ok and for a moment I found myself angry at him for offering help when I should have just been grateful for what he gave

I am learning to love I am learning to let myself be loved how did I miss this lesson when I was young? how did I miss this lesson when I was young? how did I miss this lesson when I was young?
