Love


Meet Craig and Connie Minowa. They are in the band Cloud Cult, which I love. Actually, Craig is Cloud Cult, though the rest of the band make it the incredibly special thing that it is.

What I love is the absolute love they seem to have for each other. Granted, Craig could just be another typical musician/artist romantic, and usually that kind of bugs me and seems overly dramatic and whatnot for my jaded little heart. But deep down, I am one sappy, hopeless romantic, and if I'm ever going to have a romance, it sure better be like this one.

I don't really know about their relationship. I know how Craig feels by his music. He is in love with this woman. But just look at this picture. What I love is the comfort. The honesty, the relaxed, here-we-are-enjoying-each-other look. I guess I just don't know how to get to this stage with people, because it seems like everyone I meet has this persona to present, and so do I, and no one can just be themselves and kick it on a couch. They're all worrying what others think, or at least thinking about what others think, and I don't know but this picture and the love it represents just makes me think of safety and comfort and just what I want. Somehow seeing Craig and Cloud Cult somehow also gives me hope that I will find this. I don't know why, but there's such a positive life-affirming-ness to these guys, it gives me hope.

Hope, may I point out, that I did not feel listening to Conference. I will say no more, just saying there's a stark contrast there.

Anyway, that's all. I'd really like to be in love. But I'd like it to come from honesty, openness, trust, mutual love and respect. I am so dishonest with everyone that seems unlikely, but still, I will look at this picture and hope.
