And...We're Back

The only foolproof way to avoid heartbreak is to never let anyone get close enough to touch your heart. You'll never get the wind smacked out of you, you'll never be let down and you'll never cry yourself to sleep. 

But I want to lose my breath, and be swept away, and weep tears of joy. I want to feel a love so intense it hurts. The kind that would kill me if it wasn't what I thought it was, but is exactly what I know it is. The trouble is, there's no way to tell the difference between the real thing and a counterfeit unless I am willing to take the risk and be free with my heart. 

So here I am. Again. A heartbroken record.

A Question of Love

I met a woman today. 

She is against gay marriage. 

I am for it. 

We tried to discuss, but we just couldn't understand each other.

Later, I found this. 

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Where's old Keith when you need him?

Good Vibrations

The show at Rockwood went great! I always feel humbled when people come out to see me, even if there are only a few. We had a great turnout last night so thanks to everyone who came! This is a short bit from my journal entry after the show:

I suppose I dream one day I'll play for stadiums full of people, but really there's nothing like being in this small room where people can feel your heat and your heart, where everyone creates this amazing energy and together we all go somewhere higher.

Free Show Tonight!!

Hello loverlies,

I had such a great time performing at Rockwood last December, so I'm so excited to have the opportunity to play again! This time we have a better night, so if you couldn't make it last time, hopefully your saturday nights are free : )

I will be playing a bunch of brand new songs and some old favorites!!

See you tonight

Coming Back Down to Earth

Wow. This visit home has proven to be anything but the expected. I have so much I want to write about but right now I'm packing up and preparing for my flight tomorrow morning. Finally getting off the bench and back into real life even though part of me desperately wants to stay. This break has made me realize that life's unpredictability is one of the things that make it so beautiful, so as I continue my journey and move into the new year I'm going to try embracing the unknown and all of its possibilities.

Question

does lovesick mean you are sick with love or without it?
