In the Mail

"Good news comes in small packages".
"Good news in the mail".

I just received a very beautiful song in the mail yesterday. A few years ago, my brother and i subscribed to a small "indie" thingy, and received a couple of tapes with little "anti-alien campaign" stickers on them..the songs were cool, being like 15 and all and hearing worse from our friends garage bands, but one song on the tapes struck us to the soul...very beautiful, stirring, yet soothing enough to help montana sleep at night.

funny how art can do that to some people. The same song can make me cry, or breathe softly in the night. the same poem can cause three or four of ya'll to bang down my door with instant messages worried about my mental health, yet cause one or two people to comment of the beauty and truth of what they just read.

Ive fallen in love with only a handful of people in my life, but i have a hard drive of music, a bookshelf of written works, and a small portfolio of cheap prints of sketches, watercolors and pencilings, all art that has moved me more than the everyday people i meet. art helps to numb the mundane of this world, yet at the same time, preserves forever the simple beauty of every little thing.
