Love Song for Lake Murray
My reading cave doesn't afford many opportunities for escape. My mind is a reading cave, it seems. The internal voice that speeds through hundreds of pages a day won't shut off! Even in my dreams I am outlining essays and scribbling notes and reading invisible books. The words don't stop. I need my own kind of anti-drug to prevent this sort of craziness. I guess it would be something like an anti-crazy.
And so there is Lake Murray.
Ahhh...silence. Here my internal outliner is quieted as I take the Asics and "This American Life" for a walk around the lake. Warm air, fresh breeze, endless trail, and Ira Glass: my anti-crazy.
In gratitude, dear Lake Murray, I dedicate this lovely little tune to you.
