For you to follow your heart?
And not need more blood?
From the tip of your star?
I have a vision of myself cruising through life as depicted in Moby's Porcelain video (not the first, but the the second one on the DVD; the one directed by Nick Brandt).
[Bitscape's DVD player does a skip of the cd, but it somehow manages to be perfectly in time with the music.]
That one might not have been completely the player's fault. Given the level I've got the speakers cranked to, as the center channel sits directly atop the player, I wouldn't be surprised if the vibrations penetrated the hull and caused the disc to wobble a bit.

...back to the Moby video vision...
Somehow, the images just seems to fit perfectly. My life. Sitting in the back of a moving vehicle, myself the only occupant of the car. Riding. Bbserving. Just sitting there, as the whole world passes by.
Watching as people outside as some stare off into the sky, some cast worried looks, and some panic as they swirve to avoid hitting my pilotless capsule gliding by, one near miss after another. The potential demise of a colliding death approaching and passing at every instant. But I do not fear. I just stare out at it all with a calm wonder.
The road curves, but my vehicle does not. It keeps coasting straight on into the rich warm meadow, through a glade of trees, where the wonder of the natural permeates the air, transcending to an almost mystical level. Over hills, valleys, and off into the eternity of time. I smile and ride on.

Give me myself again
