Edge of Evolution (MM)


This week's song:

Edge of Evolution
by Alanis Morissette


Here I leave my story, I leave it in the dust
All of this psychology's been entertaining enough
Here in lies the witness, objective with my stuff
But we're ready to push envelopes into full blown consciousness

So here we go out here on the edge of evolution
Numbers growing out here on the edge of evolution

I have had my glimpses, with and without substances
I have had awakenings non-abiding for the most part

And here we go out here on the edge of evolution
Numbers growing out here on the edge of evolution

In this sacred duality
The highs and lows and the heres and theres
These aversions and these cravings
Push me beyond identity and into pure awareness
(We're already here)

And here we are out here on the edge of evolution
We keep going out here on the edge of evolution

And here we are out here on the edge of evolution
We keep going out here on the edge of evolution

So today I am away from the computer, away from the office, and hopefully already on the road with the wind blowing in my hair and the music turned up.  The roommate and I are hopping in his little car and headed on our mini road trip up to Boise, ID for the Alanis Morissette concert tonight. We're catching her live on her Guardian tour at the Knitting Factory tonight, then we'll crash in a cheap hotel, and head home tomorrow... It's a beautiful thing.

It seemed only fitting to choose an Alanis song this week to represent Musical Mondays.  I love this song.  Deep.  Thoughtful.  And the feeling I get when the wind is whipping my hair and there's nothing but open road... Beautiful.

What are you listening to this week?

  4. I hope you had a FABULOUS time at the concert! I imagine she's fantastic to hear in person. And I love how sometimes I dislike her songs, and then years later they are perfect to me. :)
