I Like Giants.

When I go for a drive, I like to pull off to the side of the road, turn out the lights, get out and look up at the sky. And I do this to remind me that I'm really, really tiny in the grand scheme of things. And sometimes, this terrifies me.

It's only really scary because it makes me feel serene in a way I never thought I'd be because I've never been so grounded and so humbled and so one with everything.

I am grounded. I am humbled. I am one with everything.

Rock and roll is fun, but if you ever hear someone say, "you're huge!" Look at the moon, look at the stars, look at the sun, look at the oceans and the deserts and the mountains and the sky and say, "I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye."

I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye.

When I saw Genvieve, I really liked it when she said what she said about the giant and the lemmings on the cliff. She said, "I like giants. Especially girl giants. Because all girls feel too big sometimes, regardless of their size."

When I go for a drive, I like to pull off to the side of the road and run and jump into the ocean in my clothes. I'm smaller than a poppyseed inside a great big bowl. And the ocean is a giant that can swallow me whole. So I swim for all salvation and I swim to save my soul, but my soul is just a whisper trapped inside a tornado. So I flip to my back and I float and I sing, "I am grounded, I am humbled, I am one with everything."

So I talked to Genvieve and almost cried when she said, "the giant on the cliff wished that she was dead. And the lemmings on the cliff wished that they were dead. So the giant told the lemmings why they ought to live instead. And when she thought of all the reasons that they ought to live instead, it made her reconsider all the sad thoughts in her head."

So thank you, Genvieve, because you take what is in your head, and you make things that are beautiful and you share them with your friends. Like how we all become important when we realize our goal should be to figure out our role within the context of the whole.

And, yeah, rock and roll is fun, but if you ever hear someone say, "you are huge!" look at the moon, look at the stars, look at the sun, look at the oceans and the deserts and the mountains and the sky and say, "I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye."

I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye, and I don't want to make her cry, because I like giants.
