in my past life i was a big, shaggy dog.

the next chance you get, stick you head out the window when you're driving in the passenger seat down the highway. ok, doing this at 60+ mph may not be exactly the safest thing to do in the universe, but i might have learned more about living in the moment from doing this.

really, put you neck up outside and let the wind pillow your face and hair (and, if you can, surrender any vanity you have about your hair for the time being. tangles can get untangled). it's really the most unique feeling to have the most valuable part of yourself surrendered to the elements while the rest of you is safely cocooned in carefully engineered flying metal and wheels and airbags and shit.

let it go and let it be.
and maybe it's 2:30am and maybe this was induced by seeing old friends from high school and taking a joyous ride home from my best friend, but seriously -- feel the wind. feel less in control then you did from the previous moment.

it could just be me but i think it's grand to feel small. to feel like a part of something larger and more powerful than yourself. so stick you head out the window and let me know how it feels on your skin.

thanks.
