life lessons that are priceless – damn straight!

"You must believe in God, my dear, whatever the clergymen say."

life in the solar system – a mnemonic

Mercury’s right up in my face
Venus is a hellish place
Earth has caught the human race
Mars is just a basket case
Jupiter’s girth is a disgace
Saturn twirls with dancer’s grace
Uranus is rather base
Neptune plods at wretched pace
Pluto is now lost in space

in Sunspots, Simon Barraclough

musical life – the soundtrack of tranquility



Love, I get so lost, sometimes
Days pass, and this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away
I drive off in my car
But whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

All my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

In your eyes
The light, the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway
In your eyes
to a thousand churches 
In your eyes
The resolution
In your eyes
of all the fruitless searches 
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
The heat I see in your eyes

Love, I don't like to see so much pain
So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

And all my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

In your eyes
The light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
The heat I see in your eyes
In your eyes, in your eyes
In your eyes, in your eyes
In your eyes, in your eyes

In Your Eyes, Peter Gabriel

The resolution of all the fruitless searches.
