looked after itself..............

 

     Martin was like an old song you'd hear at a fair.  Somehow, without it, it wouldn't be a fair at all, just a place where people bought things and sold things, and then went home.  Whereas some people could live by the Sunday sermon, Martin must live by the song.  The Christ that Martin knew had turned water to wine, and wine was for drinking, and for Martin it worked.  Since he could remember, there was no tomorrow that hadn't looked after itself.

In search of the perfect...................................

"Long ago Joan Baez sang, 'You go running off in search of the perfect stranger...'  The name of the song was 'Fountain of Sorrow.' "

Attend..................................

      My soul preached to me and taught me to listen to the voices which the tongue and the larynx and the lips do not utter.
      Ere me soul preached to me, I heard naught but clamor and wailing.   But now I eagerly attend Silence and hear its choirs singing the hymns of the ages and the songs of the firmament announcing the secrets of the Unseen.
-Kahlil Gibran,  Thoughts and Meditations
