Rip I could tell you were battling something in your new album. That something created a great body of work in the form of this album

Who made the world?
Who made the swan, and the black bear?
Who made the grasshopper?
This grasshopper, I mean-
the one who has flung herself out of the grass,
the one who is eating sugar out of my hand,
who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down-
who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes.
Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face.
Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away.
I don’t know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down
into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?



So I was at the sky garden and saw this image and thought there's a great picture here somewhere. Just before I took this picture they kissed and I thought of this poem.

At that age, I needed a rock.

But what if, now, I worked toward becoming the rock that I needed back then? What if I did it not just for anyone else, but for myself? For the damaged teenager who still takes residence within me?

Not only would I be a better friend to the people I love, but I would be able to fill my own empty spaces.

I felt suddenly empowered. I could be the parent, the sibling, the grounding force and best friend that I so sorely needed.

Think of how much better society and our own mental health would be if WE could embody everyone we needed as a kid.

I thought it was too early for such a convo but it was what was needed I guess.
as long as it causes no harm to others

Whilst I took some pictures I heard the sweet sounds of the following.

"(Turn it around
I remember when
This age of pathetics)
Don't forget the happy thoughts
All you need is happy thoughts
The past tense, past bed time
Way back then when everything we read was real
And everything we said rhymed
Wide eyed kids being kids
When did you stop?
What did you do to your hair?
Where did you go to end up right back here?
When did you start to forget how to fly?
(This s**t, wanna chew
Tastes like Juicy Fruit
Words have magnitude
Please get me out of that)
Don't you color out
Don't you bleed out, oh
Stay in the line, stay in the line
Dandelion" Same drugs by The Rapper




and her poem that asks what will you do with your one precious life popped into my mind also.

This moment reminded me to carry on pursuing what I want to pursue regardless of what others think. Be free to express and feel without fear of opinions. Opinions are everywhere, subsequently they are a cheap commodity. Approach life with childlike enthusiasm and child like relentlesnes.

"We must go for walks out of doors, so that the mind can be strengthened and invigorated by a clear sky and plenty of fresh air. At times it will acquire fresh energy from a journey by carriage and a change of scene, or from socializing and drinking freely..." Seneca

I sometimes have to remember that I am just as as the I serve daily. It's important to take a look at the reel you are creating and ask am I this

isnt the rejection of others but the declaration and acknowledgment of saying that I never underestimate my impact on others.

You're your speak your and let the world see

"I tippy toe, toes tied down the wide laned highway of life, hair tied, mouth closed, stay out of sight..........
Silence at junctions, see I'm careful, dust off my shoes every 2 steps, speak to amuse or agree.
I want to be seen, not for me or as me but as what you need me to be.
Dust off my shoes, no footprints left, i don't mind walking your path.

Gravestone engraved.......
NICE
NO OFFENCE CAUSED
*That's ok with me*"
