If I Ain't Got You

Certain human beings continue to amaze me every day. Alicia Keys is one of them. As a performer, she is so infectious that she sucks you into her presence. As a singer, her voice completely comes out of her inner soul and allows you to be right there feeling it. As a musician, she plays the piano as if it's just an extension of her body. As a woman, she speaks volumes with every single audience member relating to her. And as a human being, she posses such an impossible confidence that you can't imagine what it must be like to be in her place.

What am I trying to say? I know I can be at some level of this type of existence soon if I push hard enough.
