Rocking Chair Pondering

I had the opportunity to see my favorite band, Incubus, last week. This was not my first or second time seeing them in concert but it may have very well been my favorite. This was their “Performing Morning View In Its Entirety + The Hits” Tour and I’m quite sure I had a total glitch when I learned they would be playing in a local town. Morning view is such an important album to me. If I played it once, I’ve played it a thousand times. It came out in such a pivotal point in my life and every song just seemed to fit with what was my scattered life of the ripe old age of 16-17yrs old. I don’t think I realized just how healing it would be to hear the entire album played live. When “Aqueous Transmission” concluded, it felt like a collective sigh was let out throughout the crowd. Maybe I wasn’t alone in that feeling. I was so happy to be there in that moment… thankful I had made it to this point in my life. Grateful for all of the answered and unanswered prayers. I was able to bring my daughter with me to the show. I was around her age when I first started listening to Incubus, so it was cool to have her there with me. It felt like a full circle moment… like I had made it… which sounds weird to say out loud. The chapter was closed and I had made it to a point in my life that I had only dreamed about. Weird. Unexpected… but cool…. very cool.
