currently listening to: in the aeroplane over the sea

we do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that

deep inside us something valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust,

sacred to our touch. once we believe in ourselves,

we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight

 or any experience that reveals the human spirit.

happy father's day to my amazing dad

wish i was there.

do not ask yourself what the world needs.

ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that.

because what the world needs, is people who have come alive.

currently listening to: no woman, no cry by bob marley

we can never know what might have been

but what is to come is another matter entirely

if i can stop one heart from breaking,

i shall not live in vain;

if i can ease one life the aching,

or cool one pain,

or help one fainting robin

unto his nest again,

i shall not live in vain.

currently listening to: other side by rebelution

all moved in to my new home! 

may the wind always be on your back

and the sun upon your face

and may the winds of destiny

carry you aloft to dance with the stars.

lazy summer day:
wake up
tea and cereal with bananas
read
run
beach
swim
work
gin and juice
goodnight

it's a beautiful life.

la jolla.

miss you two. i can't believe how old we are now. 

too many people grow up.

that's the real trouble with the world.

too many people grow up.

they forget.

they don't remember what it's like to be 12 years old.

they patronize, they treat children as inferiors.

well we won't do that.

currently listening to: it'll all work out by tom petty

take me out tonight

where there's music and there's people

and they're young and alive

driving in your car

i never never want to go home

because i haven't got one

anymore.

take me out tonight

because i want to see people

and i want to see life

driving in your car

oh, please don't drop me home

because it's not my home

it's their home

and i'm welcome no more

and if a double-decker bus

crashes into us 

to die by your side

is such a heavenly way to die

and if a ten-ton truck

kills the both of us

to die by your side

well the pleasure, the privilege is mine.

there is a light and it never goes out.

happy late birthday bob.

who doesn't love a guiness

carpe diem. seize the day boys. make your lives extraordinary.
