You Got To Walk That Lonesome Valley

You got to walk,
That lonesome valley
Well, you got to walk,

Can walk it for you
You got to walk,
That valley for yourself

Seeking Emergence

Posted in General Comments, Music, Philosophy, Quotes, tagged , , , , , , , on November 30, 2021| Leave a Comment »

Simplicity is the final achievement.  After one has played a vast quantity of notes and more notes, it is simplicity that emerges as the crowning reward of art.
    —     Frederic Chopin
[After barely 200 hours of practice, I can not claim to say I’ve played “a vast quantity of notes”.  But, in seeking my own “voice”, I believe I am already seeking simplicity.  I can (already) see why some become obsessed with playing an instrument and making the music in their head come out.  It is very much like the first time you get a computer program to run successfully and then successively pare the program until it feels elegant (to you).    —    kmab]

I Won’t Shed A Tear

Stand By Me
Favorite Line(s):
If the sky
That we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains
Should crumble
To the sea
I won’t cry,
I won’t cry
No, I won’t shed a tear
Just as long
As you stand,
Stand by me

When You Get Where You’re Going

Humble And Kind
Favorite Line(s):
Hold the door, say “please”, say “thank you”
Don’t steal, don’t cheat, and don’t lie
I know you got mountains to climb
But always stay humble and kind
When those dreams you’re dreamin’ come to you
When the work you put in is realized
Let yourself feel the pride
But always stay humble and kind

Happy Thanksgiving (2021)!

Posted in Philosophy, Quotes, tagged , , , , , , , on November 25, 2021| 5 Comments »

As long as I have food I don’t need when someone else has none, or have two coats and someone else has none, I share in a constantly repeated crime.
    —     Leo Tolstoy
Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers / followers!
Today, (like every day) I am thankful for a loving family and for friends I enjoy spending time with.  Next, I am thankful I live in this day and age (toilet paper, indoor plumbing, refrigerated food, relatively hi-speed internet) with all of our advancements.  And, finally, I thank God (or the universe) for not having been given an “easier” life.  It’s difficult to say I’ve lived a “hard” life because I have been graced with so many opportunities, but I’ve tried to squeeze the marrow from the bone and live life with few (and no major) regrets.  I doubt it (my life) would have been as interesting or as much fun, if it had been easier.
Hopefully, as you read this, you too are thankful for whatever graces / blessings you have this day…  And be prayerful for (and charitable to) those less fortunate.

The March Continues…

Posted in Philosophy, Quotes, tagged , , , , , , , , on November 24, 2021| Leave a Comment »

[The verdict] upholds a sense of accountability, but not true justice.
True justice looks like a Black man not having to worry about being harmed — or killed — while on a jog, while sleeping in his bed, while living what should be a very long life.  Ahmaud [Arbery] should be with us today.
    —   Sen. Raphael Warnock ,  D-Ga.
We must double down on our efforts to fight hatred, and we will not stop until no American’s life is cut short due to bigotry or reckless vigilantism.
I am praying for the Arbery family as they continue grieving their insurmountable loss, for Brunswick as the community works to heal, and for the country as we carry on in the march towards justice.
    —    Rep. Nikema Williams
Chair of the Democratic Party of Georgia
