Sometimes I Just Don't Understand Inspiration


This is so weird.
I just had a really dead day at school.
Just went through my periods,
Did my work,
And left,
The same person that I was when I
Entered.
Usually it's different.
But today was just today.
Why, then,
Right when I got home,

Was I able to do what I have been trying to do for so long now,
Just sit down at the piano and make up music?
I put my hands on the keys, and they moved themselves.
I don't understand.
I just wrote a whole song. I am so proud of myself, so amazed.
But I don't understand.
I can feel so inspired, like after the debate we had at youth last week,
Or after a particularly good math art or music class, and not be able to do anything.
I can just sit at the piano and have nothing come from it.
And then on one of the worst days ever, I can come home and make magic.
It makes no sense,
But I think I like it that way.

Becca,
Hi from Larry. I was on MSN last night for the second time ever and saw your contact information. I played guitar and sang with a buddy for 220 people yesterday at our work luncheon, it was fun. We had a drummer but he was not steady like Caleb. Have a Super Christmas!
