All that you love will be carried away*

Flash in the pan
dust in the eye-
at the end of the day
just a vapor trail* in the sky.

Time to change my glasses.

Top ten statements that are myths in your life but perceptible reality elsewhere:
1. You are never alone.
2. This too shall pass.
3. Everyone has a perfect moment that will change their life (Perfect?).
4. There is always one perfect song for everyone (One?).
5. Friendships are forever.
6. If you really wish for something intensely enough, the universe will conspire to deliver it in your lap.
7. If you really feel something intensely enough, people around you will read your mind and your thoughts.
8. Life begins after forty (I would like to think that is no myth).
9. People change for the better.
10. Retail therapy is the best therapy.

Pink Floyd --> The Dark Side of the Moon --> Alan Parsons --> this .

Big Tex opens up.

Lance Armstrong - seven time Tour de France champion. All credit to performance enhancing drugs.

My idol just crashed to the ground.

Visions.

Morning sunshine on the dewy grass,
gentle breeze caressing the blue waters-
notes of unadulterated joy in this heart,
the fragrant soil still, under your lotus feet.

Words.

I open my mouth to speak,
those words that refuse to come out.
They play all day in my head,
they mock my helplessness.
Speech becomes an impediment,
a gift so far taken for granted.
An ear to listen is too much to ask for,
my stories remain in the dark hidden.
Sound translated into ink is solace,
for a reluctant soul in denial.
This prison in black and blue,
is my gateway to redemption.

On bragging.

A friend e mailed a very insightful article on bragging, recently. It provided a lot of food for thought.
