Music is a means of giving form to our inner feelings, without attaching them to events or objects in the world. ~ George Santayana

  ♫justchewitlikeabubblegum♫™
When we are not afraid to show our feelings in a song.

Joy Unmasked

Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.

And the selfsame well from which you laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.

And how else can it be?

The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.

Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter’s oven?

And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?

When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

Some of you say, “Joy is greater than sorrow,” and others say, “Nay, sorrow is greater than joy.”

But I say unto you, they are inseparable.
Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.

- Khalil Gibran, The Prophet -

Distance and Time

Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together?

I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. I know what I need. I need more hellos. ~ Charles M. Schulz

The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be the beginning. ~ Ivy Baker Priest

Distance of time and place generally cure what they seem to aggravate...
~ Henry Fielding

Be well, do good work. ~ Garrison Keillor

One day in some far off place
I will recognize your face... ~Tom Petty
