Henry David Thoreau 1817-1862 ~ Nina Violet 1982- ...Everything Comes Apart

The Divine is about to be, and such is its nature.
In our wisest moments we are secreting a matter, which,
Like the lime of the shell-fish, incrusts us quite over,
And well for us if, like it, we cast our shells from
Time to time, though they be pearl and of fairest tint.

Theodore Parker 1810-1860 ~ Tim Rice 1944- & Andrew Lloyd Webber 1948- ...Damned For All Time/Blood Money ~ Murray Head 1946-

America is a rebellious nation.
Our whole history is treason;
Our blood was attained before we were born;
Our creeds were infidelity to the mother church;
Our constitution treason to our fatherland.

Paramahansa Yogananda 1893-1952 ~ Randy Goodrum 1947- ...You Needed Me ~ Lenny Breau 1941-1984

Creation is light and shadow both, else no picture is possible.
The good and evil of maya must ever alternate in supremacy.
If joy were ceaseless here in this world, would man ever seek another?
Without suffering he scarcely cares to recall that he has forsaken
His eternal home. Pain is a prod to remembrance.
The way of escape is through wisdom...
