Not Too Far Away

It's interesting what you learn, when you just give yourself up to it for a while.

I spent the last few days in Idaho, spending time with my family. My Aunts and Uncles and Cousins, and My Uncle Todd of course.

I look up to My Uncle Todd in many ways. He's probably the person I want to be most like, when I get older. Him and My Dad.

I also played with my cousins, who are just little. Still little enough to believe in there own imagination.

I wonder why we give up innocence so fast. Like it's nothing to hold onto.. We try and grow up so fast. And then we spend so much time feeling empty, because we aren't ready to.

It felt good to recapture some of that feeling that we give up so quickly.

I also saw stars like you wouldn't believe there. The night sky was lit up so brightly, it was incredible. And I saw fields of grass that seemed to go on forever. And old houses that always find me thinking of what they were like so long ago.. When perhaps they were the nicest house there was.

Some of the things I saw, inspired me musically a lot. I will hopefully be writing many songs over the next few days. But the inspiration to hold onto innocence that I found not too far away... Is something I will cherish for a very long time.

It's interesting what you can learn.. When you simply open yourself up to it.
