ON THE CUSP.

'the way you look when you have a got a story to begin....'

Went to the Basia Bulat show tonight at St. James Hall in Kits. The show was magical, as I am sure Basia herself is made of at least part magic. The venue is spellbinding. It is church, and pews, and Bibles at your knees, but the sound is amazing, and the intimacy is infectious. Fuck, the whole evening was infectious! There is something to be said for good people, making good things, and doing it from the heart. So lovely.

Basia's lyrics are simple elegance. My favorite is the above. To me, it is a perfect example of those moments, those wonderful moments right before change.

I ran into a friend today at JJ Bean on Main. This particular friend happens to be on the cusp of a great adventure. I felt him and this button were destine to be together.

"There are two things I will carry in my pockets at the end
oh, my darling, you are one of them
the way you look when you have a story to begin,
oh, my darling, that's the other half
and I will never lose them,
no i'll never never show them like a prize
I will keep them out of sight
and I will never give them up
to any ceiling promise or a lie,
they are mine until I die, until I die"
