Father of the SonI’ve never been on a trip. Just never been into trying those drug things. I find enough things in this world while sober to blow my mind. But that’s neither here nor there. However that being the case, perhaps one of the closest to a trip I’ve been came this afternoon as I lay back underneath a warm gray sky, the sounds of waves crashing into the shore in the background, and filled my ears with Brian Wilson’s SMiLE. The beauty of it is a bit perplexing; so I just find myself closing my eyes and letting it take over my senses. If you are like me as the music progresses so will your mind, in any multitude of directions, and so that by the time the final track ‘Good Vibrations’ comes around one can’t help but find themselves on another plane of existence, yet still within the limits of their own physical being. It is so, though, as we all should know by now, that our physical attributes really mean nothing; our mental state of mind and our spiritual condition are the reason for our existence.

Speaking of song lyrics, these remind me of you Josh:
I get the news I need on the weather report. I can gather all the news I need on the weather report. Hey, I've got nothing to do today but smile. Da-n-da-da-n-da-da-n-da-da here I am The only living boy in New York
Half of the time we're gone but we don't know where, And we don't know here.
