I have a good life. Always loved, always needed, almost always happy. I couldn't ask for much more.

All at once, the world can overwhelm me. 
There's almost nothing that you could tell me
That would ease my mind.

Which way will you run, When it's always all around you.
And the feelin' lost and found you again,
a feelin' that we have no control.


Around a sun some say, there's gonna be a new hell some say.
It's still too early to tell some say.
It really ain't no myth at all.

Keep askin' ourselves: Are we really strong enough?
There's so many things that we got too proud of.
We're too proud of.
We're too proud of.

I wanna take the preconceived out from underneath your feet.
We could shake it off and instead we'll plant some seeds.
We'll watch them as they grow. And with each new beat,
from your heart the roots grow deeper.
The branches will they reach for what?
Nobody really knows, but underneath it all there's this heart all alone.

What about when it's gone.
It really won't be so long.
Sometimes it feels like a heart is no place to be singin' from at all.

There's a world we've never seen.
But there's still hope between the dreams.
The weight of it all could blow away with a breeze.
If you're waitin' on the wind don't forget to breathe,
'Cause as the darkness gets deeper we'l be sinkin'.
And so we reach for love, at least somethin' we could hold.
But I'll reach to you from where time just can't go.

What about when it's gone. It really won't be so long. Sometimes it feels like a heart is no place to be singin' from at all.

-Jack Johnson.-

"Much more genius is needed to make love than to command armies". Ninon De l'Enclos

"There are three classes of intellects: one which comprehends by itself; another which appreciates what others comprehended; and a third which neither comprehends by itself nor by the showing of others; the first is the most excellent, the second is good, the third is useless." Machiavelli

"A prince ought to have no other aim or thought, nor select anything else for his study, than war and its rules and discipline; for this is the sole art that belongs to him who rules, and it is of such force that it not only upholds those who are born princes, but it often enables men to rise from a private station to that rank." Niccolo Machiavelli

"Don't judge me by the promises I've made, judge me by the promises I've kept." Obama, who was probably quoting someone else, but I like it either way.

Image: The keyhole. People build walls to keep you out; never force your way in- you will find only more walls within walls. There are doors in these walls, doors to the heart and mind, and they have tiny keyholes. Peer through the keyhole, find the key that opens the door, and you have access to their will with no ugly signs of forced entry.

The north wind and the sun were disputing which was the stronger, and agreed to acknowledge as the victor whichever of them could strip a traveler of his clothing. The wind tried first. But its violent gusts only made the man hold his clothes tightly around him, and when it blew harder still the cold made him so uncomfortable that he put on an extra wrap. Eventually the wind got tired of it and handed him over to the sun. The sun shone first with a moderate warmth, which made the man take off his topcoat. Then it blazed fiercely, till, unable to stand the heat, he stripped and went off to bathe in a nearby river. Persuasion is more effective than force. Fables, Aesop, Sixth century B.C.

"Coercion creates a reaction that will eventually work against you. You must seduce others into WANTING to move in your direction. A person you have seduced becomes your loyal pawn. And the way to seduce others is to operate on their individual psychologies and weaknesses. Soften up the resistant by working on their emotions, playing on what they hold dear and what they fear. Ignore the hearts and minds of others and they will grow to hate you" Robert Greene
