Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, and Leonard...

"Remember our work will be unfinished 

until not one human being is hungry, or battered,

not one single person forced to die in war,

not one innocent languishes imprisoned,

and no one persecuted for his or her beliefs."

Leonard Peltier, June 2006

Dig...

We all have a weakness

Some of ours are easy to identify. 

Look me in the eye

And ask for forgiveness;

We'll make a pact to never say that word again,

Yes, you are my friend

We all have something that digs at us,

At least we dig each other.

So when weakness turns my ego up,

I know you'll count on the me from yesterday!

If I turn into another,

Dig me up from under what is covering 

The better part of me!

Sing this song-

Remind me that we'll always have each other when everything else is gone.

We all have a sickness

That cleverly attaches and multiplies, 

No matter how we try.

We all have something that digs at us,

At least we dig each other.

So when sickness turns my ego up,

I know you'll act as a clever medicine!

If I turn into another,

Dig me up from under what is covering 

The better part of me!

Sing this song-

Remind me that we'll always have each other when everything else is gone.

Ohhh oh, each other...

When everything else is gone.

BTW, this song is the ringtone for my husband :)

Why I must create...

So I can remember to stop and smell the flowers...

     

 So I remember to let loose and be silly once in a while....

So I remember what Pooh must remember...

So I take time to appreciate the beauty that surrounds me...

 And finally, so I remember to do the hardest thing for me to do:

Choose wisely, but at least choose something different!

'7 am, the garbage truck beeps as it backs up,

And I find myself thinking about what I've thrown away.
Can I push rewind?

The credits traverse signifying the end, 

but I missed the best part.

Could we please go back to start?

Forgive my indecision...' 

~Verse from '11 am" by Incubus~

The past is one thing that generally plagues every human. The coulda-shoulda-wouldas poke at us like an ever-repeating mantra some days... We must persevere and replace the noise in our minds with another more affirmative, uplifting, and strong mantra like 
"I Choose" below... 

                              Never act my age

You can tell by the lines in my smile,

That I have been around for a while. 

So, insecurities...

Are about as useful as trying

To put the pin back in a grenade.

~Verse from 'Smile Lines' by Incubus~
