seven swans

i ordered the sufjan stevens cd from the library in december. yesterday it arrived and has accompanied me everywhere since. on morning walks through southeast streets, sitting on a study public transportation seat (kids from benson ride the bus....and i feel like i've been given the gift of seeing into the reality of the portland public school system. each morning i feel like an intruder), in a cafe before work - waiting to meet my coworkers....
everything became surreal and distant this morning, setting it to music. it wasn't just another trek to work - it was a life where everyone i encountered was a teacher of some sort. the separation made me more appreciative. where it takes a warm drink and gentle music and all is well in the world.

i'm listening to michigan over the school loudspeaker right now...i always get this indescribable feeling when i stroll the halls of nashua christian and my music permeates very room...seven swans is great, a pity you had to wait so long.

Is it just me or does daylight savings time bring oddness to your life?
