As you probably already know, I write songs for a living. Yeh, I know it's hard work, but somebody has to do it :) Anyway, I have this really amazing writing room that looks out on my porch, which has all this fresh cut firewood. So, I've just written this song for someone that has this idea of what happens if "Beauty never awakes" or "the slipper doesn't fit". I know it sounds pretty depressing but it's actually very encouraging. Anyway, as I was writing it, I look out the window only to notice that I have made a new friend. A chipmunk is sitting about 1 foot from my window on my firewood. Standing up and looking right at me. When I stop playing he loses interest and runs away. However when I begin to play again, he returns to the same spot as if to encourage me. It's a good day and I feel like Snow White. I'm just glad I don't look like her :) -zk-
