Ambedo.

Ambedo-

(n) a kind of melacholic trance in which you become completely absorbed in vivid sensory details- raindrops skittering down a window, tall trees leaning in the wind, clouds of cream swirling in your coffee- which leads to a dawning awareness of the haunting fragility of life, a mood whose only known cure is the vuvuzela.

 That is my state this evening listening to the humming crickets and sipping in the fresh, scented September air, reflecting on a day that leaves me making a deadly effort to not feel defeated and embracing a serene silence that I want to keep saying "yes" to.  
This song helps to ease into night.  


And do remember (as will I) before you slip into sleep later on:
Life responds when we risk.

"Taking control of the elements,

Making them mine, making them mine

Touching up all of the elements

Takin' my time, takin' my time

Takin' a hold of the present day

Pushin' it all, pushin' it all, pushing it

Takn' control of my destiny

Makin' it fine, makin' it fine, makin' it."
