there are some things i wish i understood better.
there are some things i wish i understood in the first place.
well. there are some things i’m not meant to understand.
there are some things i won’t understand ’til that beautiful moment when the veil’s torn away and i start the beginning of the rest of my life.
so. there are some things i don’t understand. but there are some things that aren’t mine to worry about, either.

in the meantime, here are two songs i love. both are by sean watkins. the first is from his solo album “blinders on,” and the second is from “fiction family” with jon foreman. two beautiful passages from the lyrics:
what if you thought you saw a ghost
a hundred times a day
what if the thing you wanted most
was impossible to say?
and then the answer …
you are elements combined
earth, air, fire, wine
and someday you’ll be mine
