Wilder than Wild


If you haven't already
You must you tube Strawberry Swing by Coldplay
very sweet song
simply dreamy
takes u right back to childhood when everything was possible and you can rule the universe
back when you let your imaginations run wilder than wild.



I mean
why not write up this total fiction in your head? Why not become super man and travel through foreign lands and dangerous waters to save the love of your life who has been held captive by a giant squirrel (You gotta watch the video)

I first listened to the song after someone suggested I play it on my Ipod while running


A related aside:
Working out is my sweet escape (even though getting myself to the gym is the hardest part.0
Once I'm there, Its me and my music and no one can tell me nothin'
Probably look slightly crazy, but I'm dancing, moving to the beat, smiling, steady breathing, eyes closed, mind cleared, energy releasing...

So...
When someone suggested I run to Strawberry Swing, I was kinda excited to hear it. So I did. I got on the treadmill, breathed, got myself prepped, turned the music up...

Cheezy as it may sound
but...
I was flying
yup
I was up in the clouds
pushing through the wind
on that treadmill

And the song...
Perfect for just throwing it all out and being in that exact moment.
very reminiscence of childhood. Sweet and playful melody tells a sort of story of that pure and blissful innocence 


Yeah growing up is wonderful cuz you're wiser and all
but basically,
something about that childhood imagination and purity
is simply priceless



So why not 
Take 5 minutes out of your day
Jump on that strawberry swing in the middle of a cornfield
with the newborn-baby-blue skies
animal shaped, marshmallow clouds
softest breeze caressing your back
sweetest music kissing your earlobe.

you get the point...


Why not let your imagination just run
wilder than wild
