Knocks me off my Feet - Stevie Wonder

I see us in the park
Strolling the summer days of imaginings in my head
And words from our hearts
Told only to the wind felt even without being said
I dont want to bore you with my trouble
But there's something bout your love
That makes me weak and
Knocks me off my feet

There's something bout your love
That makes me weak and
Knocks me off my feet
Knocks me off my feet

I dont want to bore you with it
Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you
I dont want to bore you with it
Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you
More and more

We lay beneath the stars
Under a lover's tree that's seen through the eyes of my mind
I reach out for the part
Of me that lives in you that only our two hearts can find
But I dont want to bore you with my trouble
But there's something bout your love
That makes me weak and
Knocks me off my feet
...

I've heard this song so much, and yet Stevie's still got it. I can smile about a love song even without a "lover" in my life, and I love that about music. It can make you feel things that you otherwise could or would not feel. If I could marry music, I think I would.

Those Sweet Words

Inner Mongolia
Norah Jones came on my Launchcast Radio, and I just wanted to write. I didn't really keep up my "blogging" during my trip as I had planned. I guess my small but rather significant "audience" will have to just forgive me for that.

Tonight, or rather, this morning, I just can't sleep. Honestly, it probably isn't really jet lag, but more of a mind buzzing with thoughts and a heart swimming with feelings. I came back in the evening and slept. The next day, I went to the beach. How I missed San Diego, clear air, the beach, and good old friends. haha. Jorelyn with her eyelid tan (that girl has surfed way too much without me). The culture shock coming back is actually a bit worse than the culture shock going over there.

I met this guy from South Africa through some of my other EAP friends (Scott and Lars), and he asked me "So Kim, what are you taking home with you?" I knew what he meant, but I really didn't know how to answer him. Although it should be clear, I think I'm slow to react. I really don't know exactly what, other than this blurry feeling, I have gained abroad. This question, coming from a guy who works with Siemens and gets ordered to work abroad for months only days in advance. He just drops everything and moves to another country for a few months. I don’t think I could do that. I also don’t think I could ever dance as well as him :).

Still some more internalizing to do, and some sleeping soon I hope.
