I drove on the Hanlon Parkway in Guelph on Saturday. I never drive on it, and it inspired me. Now, if any of you lucky souls have not had the experience of driving on the Hanlon Parkway, you life is indeed better than mine. This "highway" has stoplights. Many of them. Usually these are red. The speed limit is indeed 70 kilometres/hour. It irks me a little to start driving on a four lane highway and then have to stop. Perhaps this is because I am too used to driving fast, and I should suck this up, but regardless, it irks me.
Now, while driving this highway I was listening to Wilco, as I am prone to do. Perhaps this was also part of the inspiration. Anyway, I am in process of writing "Slow Motion Highway", and somehow I think that this might be an appropriate title for an album. It speaks of slowing down, of taking time, of waiting.
Waiting has always been interesting for me. Often God answers my prayers by saying, loudly and clearly "WAIT!" When I don't wait, there are problems. It also scares me to wait. I can remember as a younger boy than I am now, my mom asking me to wait for her in the car while she ran into the bank. Without fail, I would conjure a story in my mind of some misfortune that would befall her while in the bank, meaning I would have to wait for who knows how long.
I'm praying that God teaches me to be patient. I'm also praying for a good song, and a good album.

I know what you mean...I drive that so-called-highway to my theory teachers every week...ugh.
The song sounds like it could be really good. You'll have to sing/play it for me sometime okay?
See you on the 10th!
