It's almost the end of November and I still don't know what's going to happen next. Where will I live, where will I work, when will something happen? Still, it's almost time for a day off - which will be much needed - and then I guess we'll see.
It's times like these that I get crazy ideas of getting rid of everything and wandering off into the sunset. So ill-formed a plan - yet who can plan when nothing ever gets settled?
I listened tonight to one of my favorite Joni Mitchell albums. This was the music that formed the backdrop of my life in college. Lots of tragic romance. And women who are too restless to form permanent bonds. Do we seek out music that fits us - or do we let the music sculpt us subtly into reflections of the characters imagined in the songs.
One of the reasons I love Joni is that I can sing along with her. Her range fits mine perfectly - which is not to say that I sound even remotely like her - just that I can carry her tunes.
Funny how I can still sing along after all these years - the memory is such a funny thing.
