Martha's Vineyard

I've been here on the island for over a month now. It hardly seems real. It seems like yesterday I was arriving on the island with my dad for the second time...being reminded of all the beautiful familiar places yet so many unfamiliar faces and now...I've been here for over a month and this place is becoming my home once again. If there is one thing I always catch myself thinking about it is the concept of time...time fascinates me and time scares me to death. Life is made of this collage of moments...good and bad...and these moments are made of seconds and minutes and hours and it all passes by so quickly. And although I'm only 22 it seems that the older I get the faster time goes by and I find myself trying to reach out and grab hold of all that I am experiencing and all that is going on in my life at that very moment so that I can keep it close to me and breathe it all in before it goes away. How do we make things last? How do we take in all that is going on around us...the beauty, the events we want to remember and those we want to forget? These are the things I've been thinking about while I've been on the island. I’m supposed to be here until Christmas and I have no idea what I will be doing after that. At this point I feel like my feet are just above the ground and I'm floating around from one moment to the next never really knowing where I'll be going, who I'll be meeting or what I'll be doing. Life is so weird. While I am here I am working on writing and recording music...like most things, I'm not quite sure what will come of it but I love it and it's what I have to offer. I think music is one way I can love and communicate with others effectively and I think we should always be trying to find ways to do that. Until next time...
