Have you heard that song called "Say Hey (I Love You) by Michael Franti? If you haven't then you have some serious youtube searching, or googling that needs to be done. It is the best song ever. Okay, maybe not best ever, but it's the song that for the past few weeks has been my go to.

Sometimes life just gets ugh. Seriously! Sometimes the weight of all things humanity descends on you and everything feels muffled or foggy or gray. The sky is gray, the sand is gray, the ocean is gray sort of thing. Sometimes our hearts are a muscle, and quite frankly, they're sore. Sometimes the darkness into which praying people pray feels like the only dominating experience of your life. Sometimes crap is winning, or at least it feels like it is.

When the haze started to clear for me, this song randomly popped up in my life. It really was destiny. I never listen to non Christian radio. Seriously. I'm not interested in depressing nonsense. One day in my car, I bumped the radio or something, and it flipped to a different radio station. That Franti song was playing. It instantly took my head and heart from a no fly zone, to a head bopping, heart thumping, smile stretching kind of place. It reminded me about the excellence of love and how it just make you want to groove. It also reminded me that the sun is always shining, even if there are some gray clouds hanging out in front of it.

So this one goes out to my lobster. The coolest dude on the planet. The perfect pairing to my psyche. The completion of my malleable palate. He is my counterpart. My partner in crime. My defender of justice. He is the stable to my chaos, the embracer of my dug in heels and criss crossed arms. To him, "I say hey I'll be gone today. But I'll be back around the way. It seems like everywhere I go, the more I see the less I know. But I know one thing, that I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you!" :)
