August 17, 2005 - Hitting the Wall
It was a long drive today. I think I am just about set to try to take a long blink. I’m at a rest stop on route 80 just past Chicago. There are dozens of trucks here for company.
During the drive today, I had music to keep me company. I sampled the song selections from dozens of radio stations and discovered that Kelly Clarkson is strangely popular EVERYWHERE.
I did give up on the radio at times and listened to some of my CD’s.
Is it possible to fall in love with a voice? I don’t mean actually thinking that one knows anything about the person behind that voice. I just mean the voice itself. I had much time to meditate on this thought and truly realized that the sound of a voice can stir such emotions…happiness and sadness as well as everything in between.
It’s late, even with the hour I gained as I moved from Eastern Standard to Central time. I’m very far from home now but not yet close to my destination where some friends are waiting. This is the awkward time between points of balance and equilibrium.
