a break from the usual for a moment of longing

it was fitting that i left new york for new haven that weekend, seeing as a haven was exactly what my soul needed. i fell into the embrace of a friend and the familiar warmth surrounded me and took me back home even though i was somewhere i've never been before. we traded snippets of our lives over glasses of wine. it was calming. then new friends entered my life, as if sent by the divine to help me forget about my troubles. we danced the night away without a care.

when i woke the next morning joni mitchell's sweet voice was wafting through the room. it was a song i'd never heard before, but one that couldn't have been more appropriate if i had written it myself.

i can only remember the essence of the song. the specific lyrics were lost in my waking moments. now i'm dying to find it again, and lamenting that joni's catalog is so deep.
