"you're about to be told one more time that you are america's most valuable
natural resource. have you seen what they do to valuable natural resources?
have you seen a strip mine? have you seen a clear cut in the forest?
have you seen a polluted river? don't ever let them call you a valuable
natural resource. they're going to strip mine your soul. they're going
to clear cut your best thoughts for the sake of profit unless you learn to
resist, because the profit system follows the path of least resistance and
following the path of least resistance is what makes the river crooked. make a
break for it, kids. flee into the wilderness!--the one within if you can find it..."

This is a picture of me and my sister on vacation in NovaScotia.
joyful girl
i do it for the joy it brings
because i'm a joyful girl
because the world owes me nothing
and we owe each other the world
i do it because it's the least i can do
i do it because i learned it from you
i do it just because i want to
because I want to
everything i do is judged
and they mostly get it wrong
but oh well
'cuz the bathroom mirror has not budged
and the woman who lives there can tell
the truth from the stuff that they say
and she looks me in the eye
and says would you prefer the easy way?
no, well o.k. then
don't cry
and i wonder if everything i do
i do instead
of something i want to do more
the question fills my head
i know that there's no grand plan here
this is just the way it goes
and when everything else seems unclear
i guess at least i know
i do it for the joy it brings...

Some picture someone drew for me.
Once I wished for money, got it but I was not happy.
I wished for fame, got it but still I was not happy.
Then I wished for happiness and I got you.
Now I'm not only happy, but I feel I have everything
Canada day 2000 people eating a cauliflower someone gave me.
Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blame
You say...
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it
Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's...
Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...life
One
Monday night open tables at Zaphods.
sorry i am
I'm sorry I didn't sound more excited on the phone.
I'm sorry that after all these years
I've left you feeling unrequited and alone,
brought you to tears.
I guess I never loved you quite as well as the way you loved me.
I guess I'll never really be able to tell you how sorry I am.
And I don't know what it is about you.
I just know it's not what it was.
I don't know why red fades before blue,
it just does.
And I don't know what it is about me that I just can't keep still.
I keep thinking someday I will make this all up to you
and maybe someday I will.
I guess I never loved you quite as well as the way you loved me.
I guess I'll never really be able to tell you how sorry I am.
I think amy and i are lost among the "tall ships".
32 Flavors
squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
and I'm beyond your peripheral vision
so you might want to turn your head
cause someday you're going to get hungry
and eat most of the words you just said
both my parents taught me about good will
and I have done well by their names
just the kindness I've lavished on strangers
is more than I can explain
still there's many who've turned out their porch lights
just so I would think they were not home
and hid in the dark of their windows
til I'd passed and left them alone
and god help you if you are an ugly girl
course too pretty is also your doom
cause everyone harbors a secret hatred
for the prettiest girl in the room
and god help you if you are a pheonix
and you dare to rise up from the ash
a thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy
while you are just flying back
I'm not trying to give my life meaning
by demeaning you
and I would like to state for the record
I did everything that I could do
I'm not saying that I'm a saint
I just don't want to live that way
no, I will never be a saint
but I will always say
squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
And I'm beyond your peripheral vision
So you might want to turn your head
Cause someday you might find you're starving
and eating all of the words you said

Marty and I waiting for a bus.
A friend is someone who knows all there is to know about you, but loves you anyway.
---Glenda Nunn
Angie, Marty and I at babylon for capital J?
We need to learn, practice, study, know and understand how angels live with each other.
When this community comes to the point to be perfectly honest and upright,
you will never find a poor person; none will lack, all will have sufficient.
Every man, woman, and child will have all they need just as soon as they become honest.
When the majority of the community are dishonest, it maketh the honest portion poor,
for the dishonest serve and enrich themselves at their expense.
---Brigham Young
Marty and I at the well.
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute our built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms,
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I am a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them,
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I am a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing,
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
The palm of my hand,
The need for my care.
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
-Maya Angelou
