The Perfect Song

The perfect song is elusive like fog or a wet bar of soap. When you catch it or it catches you, you seize the moment or the moment is lost. I had the opportunity of catching one of those moments and writing a song for a good friend. I also had the opportunity of sharing it in front of our cafeteria at school to her. I think she enjoyed it.
In the past five or six months I have not played the guitar or even had the desire to do so. This has ignited that passion again. It had gotten to the point that I didn't know if I was going to pick up the guitar again or not. I guess it just takes those rare moments when God gives you a glimpse into true creativity. Not saying this was a work of God, but rather God allowing me to feel creative again. Passion is the hardest fire to re-ignite, and sometimes it has to happen by chance.
I have also recently been taken chances on things that I would typically shy away from. Things like taking pictures in crazy Christmas sweaters downtown, attempting to crash fancy Christmas parties, and hanging out in Starbucks and remaining confident in the presence of pretty girls who give you funny looks.
Sometimes life doesn't throw any pitches and you just have to charge the pitcher's mound and shake things up a bit.
