I did something today that I haven't done in a long time.

One of my most favorite things in the world is to go on night time drives, and roll down all the windows.

I like feeling the moon's rays tickle my skin, and I love the feeling of the wind sifting by every inch of my body. I love seeing all those stars smiling down on me, and I love the twinkling reflection that they leave in my eyes. And I love the smell of the autumn air, because it is rich and musky, like it has existed since the very dawn of time.

But most of all, I love being the observer of all these supernatural things. It puts me in my place, and I realize just how very small and insignificant I am. And I realize just how unimportant material things are, because in that moment, the feeling of creation and nature are so indescribable, that I become a speck in the midst of all that star dust.

Tonight, I was driving along an old, old dirt road. I decided to drive for a while, with my windows rolled down. The twilight sky was too beautiful to not stare at, and as my favorite Coldplay song began to play, I couldn't help but lift my arms, hands, and eyes to the sky. I stopped in the middle of the road, and danced in the moonlight- just because it felt right.

"Come on,
My star is fading
I swerve out of control
If I’d only waited
I’d not be stuck here in this hole
Come here,
My star is fading
And I swerve out of control
And I swear I waited and waited
I’ve got to get out of this hole

But time is on your side
Its on your side now
Not pushing you down and all around
It’s no cause for concern

Come on, oh my star is fading
And I see no chance of release
And I know I’m dead on the surface
But I am screaming underneath

And time is on your side
Its on your side now
Not pushing you down
And all around, no
It’s no cause for concern

Stuck on the end of this ball and chain
And I’m on my way back down again
Stood on a bridge, tied to the noose
Sick to the stomach
You can say what you mean
But it won’t change a thing
I’m sick of the secrets
Stood on the edge, tied to a noose
You came along and you cut me loose
You came along and you cut me loose
You came along and you cut me loose."
