Surprise!  It’s June 5th. 2010.  The Spring quarter is officially over, and I’m done with my first year of doctoral work.  Life has surely happened this year for me, and I am a better person for the process.  I’m spinning some Melissa Ferrick and channeling the good thing(s)–the good, true, and beautiful things of my life.  And yes, I’m still really into all this.

“Anything Anywhere”
Melissa Ferrick
I want you
To know me
To need me
Smile when I call your name

I want you
To never
Look at
Anyone else this way

So strange
This something
We have between us
And it’s not fair
If you’ve never
Loved this way

Anything, anywhere
I would give everything I own away
Always I will sing
Picturing you singing right back to me

I want you
To know that
I will always have you
No matter if never
Physically in my arms again
This love
Is like
Mercury
Splitting off
Endlessly
Every time I try
To nail it down

Anything, anywhere
I would give everything I own away
Always I will sing
Picturing you singing right back to me

Too bad
The best love hurts so much
But it’s so good yes
The best love hurts so much

Anything, anywhere
I would give everything I own away
Always I will sing
Picturing you singing right back to me

Anything, anywhere
I would give everything I own away
Always I will sing
Picturing you singing right back to me
Sing it right back
Sing it right back
Sing it right back
Back to me
Anything … Anywhere
Anything … Anywhere
Anything … Anywhere
Anything … Anywhere
