when i go for a drive i like to pull off to the side of the road, turn off the lights, get out and look at the sky. and i do this to remind me that i'm really really tiny in the grand scheme of things. and sometimes this terrifies me. it's only really scary cause it makes me feel serene in a way i never thought i'd be because i've never been so grounded and so humbled and so one with everything.
when i go for a drive i like to pull off to the side of the road and run and jump into the ocean in my clothes. and i'm smaller than a poppyseed inside a great big bowl. and the ocean is a giant that can swallow me whole. so i swim for all salvation and i swim to save my soul. but my soul is just a whisper trapped inside a tornado. so i flip to my back and i float and i sing "i am grounded. i am humbled. i am one with everything."
if you ever hear someone say "you are huge," look at the moon. look at the stars. look at the sun. look at the ocean and the desert and the mountains and the sky.
we all become important when we realize our goal should be to figure out our role within the context of the whole.
the words above are excerpts from kimya dawson's song "i like giants". The last line struck me fairly hard. it is full of truth. check out the full song on my profile for a limited time. but be warned of her offensive language in other songs. that is, of course, if that sort of thing offends you ;)
