Résumé & Girl Interrupted

Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.


Dorothy Parker

Words on Waiting




If I'm honest then I confess that I am not a very good waitress these days...at least not in the noise of my mind.  I have to work hard to contemplate peace and tap into a silent place in my soul.  But once I am there, I am immoveable. I know my own...

What matter if I stand alone?
I wait with joy the coming years;
My heart shall reap where it hath sown,
And garner up its fruit of tears.

The waters know their own and draw
The brook that springs in yonder height;
So flows the good with equal law
Unto the soul of pure delight.

The stars come nightly to the sky;
The tidal wave unto the sea;
Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high,
Can keep my own away from me. 

~ from Waiting by John Burroughs

Lights Across the Sky...

Life leads us to hope
It leads us to cope
But it cannot carry us home
I need you to go
I need you to know
That you don't have to go it alone

And we'll all break free
And we'll all break free


They've got me wondering wondering why
Some people live
And others they die
And those who can't love
They still try
They still try
They still try
They still try

Five fortunate prayers
Three wishes to bear
Will two become one 'til we care?
Well I'll meet you there
Wearing a shirt made of hair
Just look for my stare

And we'll all break free
And we'll all break free

Lights across the sky
They've got me wondering wondering why
Some people live
And others they die
And those who can't love
They still try
They still try
They still try
They still try

They still try
They still try
  
Lights across the sky
They've got me wonderin' wonderin' why
Some people live
And others they die
And those who can't love
They still try
They still try

Lights across the sky
They've got me wonderin' wonderin' why
Some people live
And others they cry
And those who can't win
They still try
They still try
They still try
They still try

Life leads us to love
It leads to above
And we are the lucky ones

A time for planting...

You and me, a time for planting,
you and me, a harvest granting 
the every prayer ever prayed
for just two wild flowers that grow on stones. 
~ Neil Diamond











...I sure hope so.  I think it's kinda time...
