Not as much eclectic, frantic=ness going down but pretty calm and I definitely need more rest, so I think this will do! :)

"Evita" soundtrack on roadtrips
When I was around 6 years old, my dad, sister and I travelled around the United States in my dad's pop top VW bus. We listened to Evita (on tape) many times, along with greats such as Carly Simon, Jim Croce, Neil Diamond.
It's funny because when I think of the music of Evita...I think of rolling hills, long highways, and cows grazing...since that's what we drove by while listening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S39iFdZEiDA
I never got to see the Evita musical onstage, but I did see the movie with Madonna and Antonio Banderas :) in it. Unlike some, I really enjoyed the movie version..maybe because I didn't have another visual to compare it to.
I find it really interesting...when you hear music...how it's associated in the mind and heart with a certain time and you picture in your head=what was happening at the time...can bring back good or bad memories. This brings back fun, adventurous memories to me. Driving through the U.S to visit many states to go camping, with my sister and dad. Something that will always bring a smile to my face.

It's time...for Spring.
Time seems to sift right through my fingertips lately!
Does anyone else feel this way?
We're going at such a fast speed on this Earth.
I miss the ocean more than you know. I would love to sit in nature more and laugh with the trees.
The waves are calling me.
The sky, the clouds are moving overhead
while the wind sends wishes that we sometimes choose to ignore...
The natural world needs our participation...and it calls to us-more than we know...
