Three Hundred Twenty-One

I listened to music last night. I sat at my computer, ear buds blocking out the world, and allowed myself to be transported outside myself. Death Cab for Cutie’s I Will Follow You into the Dark was just one of the tunes I allowed to take over my thoughts, crowding out the uglier thoughts from my mind.  It was the one with the sweetest message I’d heard in a thousand years. The story it told me was one of absolute love. That’s not a story you often hear.
