Moses

come on now, don't you want to see
this thing that's happening to me
like moses has power over sea
so you've got power over me

come on now don't you want to know
you're a refuge, somewhere i can go
you're air that, air that i can breathe
you're my golden opportunity

and oh, oh yes i would
if i only could
and you know i would
and baby i, oh baby i
i wish

come on now, don't you want to see
this thing that's happening to me
i'll be waiting oh no matter what you say
cause i've been waiting for days and days and days

if the sky's gonna fall down let it fall on me
if you're gonna break down you can break on me
if the sky's gonna fall down let it fall on me
Oh Lord
Let it fall on me

one more passing show

"This is a strategy that I have recently adopted into my own life. It's a subtle reminder that everything- the good and the bad, pleasure and pain, approval and disapproval, achievements and mistakes, fame and shame- all come and go. Everything has a beginning and an ending and that's the way its supposed to be.
Every experience you have ever had is over. Every thought you have ever had, started and finished. Every emotion and mood you've experienced has been replaced by another.You've been happy, sad, jealous, depressed, angry, in love, shamed, proud, and every other conceivable human feeling. Where did they all go? The answered is no one really knows. All we know is that, eventually, everything disappears into nothingness. Welcoming this truth into your life is the beginning of a liberating adventure.
Our disappointment comes about in essentially two ways. When we are experiencing pleasure we want it to last forever. It never does. Or when we are experiencing pain, we want it to go away-- now. It usually doesn't. Unhappiness is the result of struggling against the natural flow of experience.
It's enormously helpful to experiment with the awareness that life is just one thing after another. One present moment followed by another present moment. When something is happening that we enjoy, know that while it's wonderful to experience the happiness it brings, it will eventually be replaced by something else, a different type of moment. If that's OK with you, you'll feel peace even when the moment changes. And if you are experiencing some type of pain or displeasure, know that this too shall pass. Keeping this awareness close to your heart is a wonderful way to maintain your perspective, even in the face of adversity. It's not always easy but it is helpful." Richard Carlson

Falling..

Have you ever fallen just so hard that you could not bare the thought to rise again? If you are human odds are you have. You see we need to fall to get back up again, we need our lows to feel our highs, we need to feel cold to feel the warmth. As long as we can remember what the warmth of the sun feels like on our skin, to quench our thirst, our "drive" what we are made of, will persevere and keep us moving forward.

Sigur Ros - Hoppipolla

After stumbling across a stack of old mixed Cd's with no labels I found this track from Vanilla Sky. I then started a little research and found the track belonged to Sigur Ros. Turns out everything they produce is just as good as track 4 on their infamous album ().

Yummy

My mouth waters just looking at the picture. I only got as far as buying the ingredients though. Once my daughter saw the artichokes I had to boil them at once for her to gobble up, so maybe we will try tomorrow night.

Spring Vegetable Soup
Serves 4

• 1 small bunch leeks
• sliced prosciutto
• extra-virgin olive oil
• 6 cups chicken stock
• 1 cup fresh fava beans
• 1 cup spinach
• 1 cup asparagus
• 8 small artichokes
• sea salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons mint

Using a big, deep pot, sauté a handful of chopped leeks and several torn prosciutto slices in olive oil. After a few minutes, pour in 6 cups chicken stock and bring to a boil. Mix in 1 cup each peeled, blanched fava beans, chopped spinach, chard and asparagus, plus 8 cut-up steamed artichoke hearts. Simmer soup for a few minutes, then sprinkle with salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil and top with a couple tablespoons chopped mint leaves. Serve with crusty bread and a hunk of English cheddar.

Perfect

I found this and I have to share. Such great words of wisdom at this time in my life. I hope it makes the warm fuzzy feeling in your belly as it did in mine.

"Here is what I have learned in my 30 years (which isn't much much but it might be enough):

#1) Everything is perfect. Including you. You are perfect. Right now. Exactly how you are, you're perfect. Close your eyes. Breathe in. That air? Perfect. Your greasy hair and dry feet and tummy roll and hairy legs are perfect. I'm not kidding. It's all perfect.

#2) You know that place you were trying to get to this whole time? The destination that made you feel guilty and stressed and hurried and not good enough? The place that would suddenly appear when you had enough or were enough? You're there! You made it! It was here, this whole time! So you can stop trying so hard, stop rushing and yelling and getting upset and putting others down. Stop judging, stop regretting, stop worrying, stop waiting, stop looking back, stop wishing, stop planning, you're here now. And it's perfect. Did I mention that already? It's true. You're here and everything is perfect, including you.

And I'm 30 now, I feel old and young and loved and lonely and selfish and sweaty and grateful and tired and creative and content and I'm here. And I'm perfect too."--Cori Kindred

My reasons

"They didn't have you where I come from

Never knew the best was yet to come

Life began when I saw your face

And I hear your laugh like a serenade

How long do you want to be loved

Is forever enough, is forever enough

How long do you want to be loved

Is forever enough

Cause I'm never, never giving you up

I slip in bed when you're asleep

To hold you close and feel your breath on me

Tomorrow there'll be so much to do

So tonight I'll drift in a dream with you

As you wonder through this troubled world

In search of all things beautiful

You can close your eyes when you're miles away

And hear my voice like a serenade

How long do you want to be loved

Is forever enough, is forever enough

How long do you want to be loved

Is forever enough

Cause I'm never, never giving you up..."

Two-Tone lips

Off the runways in Paris to the streets of LA and NYC...what do you think? I am kind of digging it, if you are daring enough to try this make sure you use a two tone that will not be so intense with your skin color.

Travels in tough times

"a pack of hot candied nuts $2; one greasy eggroll from the streets $1; one free ice cold water from guy who said I was beautiful $0; running down the street in skirt and 4" stillettos with rolling suitcase knocking down chinamen- priceless!"--my best friend

fall in love again

Well its another Friday but, try to make this one different. Shut the home office down and give your loved ones the attention they deserve. Moday will be here soon enough. Enjoy! xx

a time for personal change

"According to my experience, it is clear that if each individual makes an effort then he or she can change. Of course, change is not immediate and it takes a lot of time. In order to change and deal with emotions it is crucial to analyse which thoughts are useful, constructive and of benefit to us. I mean mainly those thoughts which make us calmer, more relaxed and which give us piece of mind, versus those thoughts which create uneasiness, fear and frustration."--Dalai Lama
