mood: bursting

music: Coldplay - Lost?

There's so much to accomplish in this life. So much I want to do and don't know if I'll have time for.

I'm learning violin but I also want to learn the drums and cello and hammered dulcimer. I want to go on more tours as a lighting guy, and tour as a sound guy as well. I want to sing, leading people in worship and design and build sets. I want to be a technical director again and have a wife and three kids who care as little about sports as I do. We'll go on nature walks and look at bugs and rocks at gaze through a telescope at night and study the heavens.

I want to become a nurse and work in a hospital helping kids. I want to design the house my family lives in and build little hidden passageways just for fun and have a bookcase that reveals a secret room when you pull the right book out.

I want to finish the song I have sitting half-written on my computer right now.

There's so little time. There's petty things like a job and eating and sleeping to get in the way. Some of my desires are at odds with each other. Why does that have to stop me? Can't I do it all?

Bother.
