Hanging out with Otis and singing along with some extra emphasis in a few different places.
Action speaks louder than words
And I’m a man of great experience
I know you’ve got another man
But I can love you better than him
Somewhere in the midst of the song and heavy thought I think about comparing the original to the cover and do the same as before.
Take my hand don’t be afraid
I’m gonna prove every word I say
I’m advertising love for free
So you can place your ad with me
Smirk on my face, I break from the computer to bang out three sets of curls I forgot to do earlier and smile bigger because I feel progress and can almost see the cuts in my arms coming back.
May not actually be true but I feel stronger and that is accurate and I am grateful because age has forced me to adjust but it is not preventing me from doing what needs to be done.
It is harder in some ways but easier than others because there is a different sense of purpose.
Not to mention I got word of a twenty something who committed suicide and it just breaks my heart. Didn’t know him and barely know his parents, but I know others who knew him which is how it came across my feed.
Life is hard and few no about the battles we fight.
Reminds me of a discussion years ago about where we would live and I said we would live in our castle wherever we chose to build it.
Location didn’t matter as long as you had the right partner and if you had made a mistake it could be corrected.
Takes some balls, takes some daring but lightning can strike more than once and it only happens if you provide yourself with the possibility to seek opportunity.
Live your dreams and don’t dream your life away or so the sages say.
Have thought more than once about how Gary was only 55 and how he battled the last few years, valiantly and honorably but the battle is over.
Life can turn on a dime and though I don’t expect to receive news the thread is much shorter than I think, well it could be.
Could be all of 20 some odd years left which isn’t enough time to do as much as I want but plenty enough to do quite a bit.
Can’t say it is too hard to make changes and settle just because change is hard so I won’t.
I tasted flight and the memory of it drives me because I think it could happen again. Can’t say for certain but the scientific method says that you have to experiment and see if what you know proves to be true.
So I think about the hypothesis and smile because I damn well know things and I don’t think I’ll be proven wrong.
But then again you can’t know unless you move from speculation into action.
Roll away, the dew
Roll away, roll away the dew
Roll away, roll away the dew
Roll away, roll away the dew
