When I get older losing my hair, many years from now, will you still be sending me a valentine, birthday greetings, bottle of wine?

If I’d been out till quarter to three, would you lock the door? Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m sixty-four?

Oooh, you’ll be older too. And if you say the word, I could stay with you. I could be handy mending a fuse when your lights have gone. You can knit a sweater by the fireside; Sunday mornings go for a ride

Doing the garden, digging the weeds, who could ask for more? Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m sixty-four?

Toe the Party Line – Share the Booty

Cross the party line – get stubbed

One day, a few days after the liberation, I walked through the country past flowering meadows, for miles and miles, toward the market town near the camp. Larks rose to the sky and I could hear their joyous song. There was no one to be seen for miles around; there was nothing but the wide earth and sky and the larks’ jubilation and the freedom of space.

I stopped, looked around, and up to the sky—and then I went down on my knees. At that moment there was very little I knew of myself or of the world—I had but one sentence in mind—always the same: “I called to the Lord from my narrow prison and He answered me in the freedom of space.”

Walking in the park just the other day, what do you think I saw? Crowds of people sitting on the grass with flowers in their hair. –Misty Mountain Hop by Led Zeppelin

Good/Bad?

Opposite elements working in harmony enable perfect decision making: Calculation & evaluation, patience & opportunism, intuition & analysis, style & objectivity, management & vision, strategy & tactics, planning & reaction. Balance these forces and avoid the comfort zone. ~G.Kasparov

Take only photos, and watch where you put your footprints!

This view is facing north. The downtown skyscraper rooftops of the city of San Francisco can be slightly seen in the top center behind the distant ridge. Click on the image and look closely.

Circumstance

When you look at an object, you see one side of it at a time; the nature of vision. When you think about something, you think about it in one context at a time; the nature of thought.

Context determines what your mind thinks just as viewing-angle determines what your eye sees.
