Behind. . . .

As a child, I knew
That the stars could only get brighter
That we would get closer
Get closer
Leaving this darkness
Behind


"Blind" - HERCULES & LOVE AFFAIR




The very stars to which I then raised my eyes, I am afraid I took to be poor and humble stars for glittering only on the rustic objects among which I had passed my life.


Pip on Great Expectations

Last night I drove across my so much missed Portales neighborhood. . . Considering the recent not so fortunate events, the presence of those glimmering lights that once I saw as a child while crossing those streets was pretty soothing. I felt some sort of new, it really helped me.

I slept soundly.

Siempre me han gustado los últimos segundos de esa canción, nunca había visto el video. Me gustó mucho lo de "Pip on Great Expectations"
