last night ana & i had a campfire. simple. necessary. wonderful. as always, watching a fire always engenders conversation - the watchful glow of the flames reveals what lies in each of our hearts.
my copy of (m)orning by mae arrived in the mail today (the ep is now available in their online store, i suggest you buy it immediately - so completely worth it!) as if by perfect chance. in this album there is a constant metaphor of fire:
"i see the truth rising up in the flames / oh it burns away at the remains / and it's strong enough to overtake the rain / bright enough to see the light of day." - the house that fire built
fuel for though...maybe it's overly poetic, but i would like to think my friendship with ana holds a power along the lines of those lyrics. until last night, i never realized that we shed light on each other, reavealing so much of what the other person is hoping to express even when words fail. people who observe me when i am with her seem to understand me better than those who meet me on their own terms. i truly believe it is because she brings out the best in me for others to see. ana always claims that i give her too much, but she has done me a whole world of good.
i've been somewhat adopted into her life and i could be more grateful.
also, we have officially began planning the best of birthdays to grace the bloomington area. be ready.
right now i am listening to: mae, never shout never, the hush sound, and pedro the lion.
love, holly
