When I’m lost at sea, I hear your voice, and it carries me.

More than iron, more than lead, more than gold I need electricity. I need it more than I need lamb or pork or lettuce or cucumber. I need it for my dreams.

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?

Reflect on the spirit embodied by monks at the Monastery of Christ in the Desert: Their daily work period starts at 9:40 AM and is for only 3 hours!
Asked of one monk what he does when the bell rings at 12:40 PM but he feels that his work is undone, he replied, “You get over it.“
Contrasting tones of red and blue create a distinctive mood, contributing to and emphasizing an aesthetic or emotional atmosphere. Is it romance, mystery, or nostalgia of some sort?
That word, “reverie“, for some reason went around & around through my mind all night.
Coincidentally, in this morning’s San Jose Mercury News, I found one of Jules Travernier’s paintings. It was inspired during the year he spent crossing America, sketching the scenes he encountered while lost in his thoughts.
There’s a sacred place at Almaden Quicksilver Park that few people know about. A hike there is refreshing to the soul, yet could be exhausting to the body.
It’s a fair trade.
