For some it is the feeling of being completely free to feel anything, for others it's the high note that trey hits during divided sky that sends chills through your spin, while he smiles knowing what he just did to you.  For others it's the companionship of sharing that moment with 30,000 of your closest friends (knowing that for a single moment you can feel a part of something good and something right).

But for me it's all those things... it is what was and what should be; it is what's right; it is all that is good, the hope that some day everyone in the world can understand what music that reaches your soul can do for all of us. I know I sound very sappy, but ever since the good news I have been thinking, why does this have such an impact on my life?  And the conclusion was that it just does, and when it feels right, don't fuck with it.

I love phish and they love us and that's the way that life should be, a mutual relationship of love and truth. What is more true then the time that you spend with yourself in the middle of a amazing jam, just being... Enjoying every ounce of you, your spot and the people around you enjoying the very same thing. For those of you who didn't really want to hear this, I'm sorry, and for those of you who could relate to even some of this, thank you. I will see you all on new year's.
