Blindsided

What makes a moment the gap?  The times that stand still, where the only truth, the only reality, is that moment.  It’s not merely the quality, but the lead up.  The awareness and discovery of the moment.  The sudden realization that you are there… in the gap.  Preparation and seeking never combine to create these spaces in time.  They happen to you, not by you.  Stop looking.  Start living.  Discover the gap.

Back down… down to the downtown
Down to the lockdown… boards, nails lie around

I crouch like a crow
Contrasting the snow
For the agony, I’d rather know

‘Cause blinded I am blindsided

Peek in… into the peer in
I’m not really like this… I’m probably plightless

I cup the window
I’m crippled and slow
For the agony, I’d rather know

‘Cause blinded I am blindsided

Would you really rush out for me now?

Taut line… down to the shoreline
The end of a blood line… the moon is a cold light

There’s a pull to the flow
My feet melt the snow
For the irony, I’d rather know

‘Cause blinded I was blindsided
‘Cause blinded I was blindsided
‘Cause blinded I was blindsided

~Blindsided  –  Bon Iver

I too appreciate the gap. Though, I perform my affection through dismissing it’s existence. This suggests that there is only now…..right?…..so why do i, you, we, everyone live inside of time? what the F dude… you always bust my brain into pieces…. i then gather and paste them together and routinely think i’m brilliant…. so thanks and go for the gap!!
