My Heaven

Nothing shatters nothing breaks
Nothing hurts nothing aches
We've got ourselves one hell of a place .. in my heaven
Looking down at the world below
A bunch of whinning, fighting schmo's
Up here we've got non of those .. in my heaven

There's pools and lakes and hills and mountains
Music, art and lighted fountains
Who needs money here, no one's counting .. in my heaven
No one works, we all just play
We pick the weather everyday
If you change your mind, well that's ok .. in my heaven

Grandma's up here, grandpa too
In a condo with to die for view
There's presidents and movie stars
You just come as you are
No one's lost and no one's missing
No more fighting just hugs and kissing
And all these stars are just wishing .. in my heaven

There's little white lights everywhere
Your childhood dog in dad's old chair
And more memories than your heart can hold
When Sting's singing "Fields of Gold"
There's neighbours, thieves and long lost lovers
Villains, poets, Kings and mothers
Up here we forgive eachother .. in my heaven

For every soul that's down there waiting,
Holding on still hesitating
We say a prayer of levitating .. in my heaven
You can look back on your life's lot
But it can't matter what your not
By the time your here we are all you've got
In my heaven

To treat your facts with imagination is one thing, but to imagine your facts is another.

~ Racism is when you have laws set up, systematically put in a way to keep people from advancing, to stop the advancement of a people. Black people have never had the power to enforce racism, and so this is something that white America is going to have to work out themselves. If they decide they want to stop it, curtail it, or to do the right thing ... then it will be done, but not until then. ~

Begin challenging your own assumptions. Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in awhile, or the light won't come in.

As in all moral panics, an accusation is enough to destroy a person's life. Hysteria trumps evidence.

Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability.

The Summer Day

Mary Oliver

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?
