A cool bright morning drive today. The sort that looks for all the world like the day will soon ignite into a fireball of blazing temperature but which, here in the temperate Pacific Northwest, usually means mid-seventies. Scheduled high today is 71°, so that's about right. As Bruce Cockburn says:
Sun's up, uh huh, looks okay
The world survives into another day
And I'm thinking about eternity
Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me (Wondering Where the Lions Are, 1979)
I'm not sure about the ecstasy bit, it being Monday and all, but the rest of the stanza fits the morning just fine. And Cockburn also started off this morning's sound track, though from live acoustic 2009 album Slice O Life. It suddenly occurs to me that the song quoted above was released thirty one years ago on the album Dancing in the Dragon's Jaws. Thirty years and twenty three (of Bruce's 36) albums lie between these two and I bought both of them fresh off the press, the former as an LP and the latter as a digital download via iTunes. Thinking about eternity, indeed!
This morning's iMood:
Bruce Cockburn: Celestial Horses (Live)
Tracy Silverman: Intermezzo from Carmen
David Gray: Shine
Sigur Rós: Agaetis Byrjun
