better stories

What I'm listening to today: Staralfur by Sigur Ros

Look! We're going over a bridge!

Look at all the water! Look at all the birds!
Look at the steam rising from the surface.

What do you imagine is down there?

What do you believe lives in its depths?

What if you could build a small, yellow house on one of those little islands.

You would have to take a boat across the river anytime you wanted to go somewhere.

It would be so peaceful and quiet, just you and your little island, and the birds.
I could row over to visit you, and we could bake dandelion scones
with the flowers that grow there.
We could string a hammock from one small island to the next,
and sleep under the stars at night, over the gentle gurgle of the river.

Don't miss what passes by your window when you're traveling in a car.
It holds more magic and tells better stories than the small box in your hand is capable of.
