I See Fear- Part 2
I don’t need to look in the mirror to see the fear that sometimes strikes me in places so deep I am barely conscience of their existence.
It is a nagging fear that naws away at me. It is the fear of the bogeyman that could get my children. It is the irrational desire to lock them in a bubble where nothing can touch them and no harm shall come.
It is the knowledge that they think I am omniscient and I am faking it. It is the concern that somehow I am going to fail in my obligation to protect them.
And then I take a deep breath and the fear passes through me. I endure and persevere because that is what I do, what I have always done and always will. I know no other way.
My iTunes is up to around 2300 songs or so. Here is a partial list of what I am listening to this evening.

I was listening to NPR today on my home on the interstate. Many of the topics they covered created that same “fleeting moment of fear.” It is almost if you let it sit down a moment in your mind it will take root and you will never get rid of it, so you sweep it away and go on with your life…just as you did in this entry… all of a sudden you were talking about music and everyone else ignored that fleeting moment,too. I love Enya and Walking at Midnight is one of my all time favorites. See how easy it is?

Mrs. Tantrum,
Music is very important to me.
Mirty,
You are a slacker. Pick it up. 😉
Misanthrope,
I always look at what books/music people own. It is very interesting to me.

I enjoy looking at the music people listen to and looking at their book shelves. I think it provides a certain insight into the person, probably as much as a shadow does, but I like it anyway.

I feel like a bad iPodder. I have only 114 songs on mine. I don’t think I even know 2,300 songs.

That is the essence of parenthood.
You do a varied taste of music, and mentioned some of my favorites. Despite the fact that I know music doesn’t define a person, I still possess that inkling of liking you because of what you listen to.
