Rainer Maria Rilke 1875-1926 ~ David Bowie 1947- ...Changes

Otherwise this stone...would not from all borders of itself,
burst like a star: for here there is no place that doesnot see you.
You must change your life...

Walt Whitman 1819-1892 ~ Frank Zappa 1940-1993 ...Bamboozled By Love

I contradict myself?
So, I contradict myself!
I am infinite.
I contain multitudes.

William Butler Yeats 1865-1939 ~ Bob Dylan 1941- ...Sara

I shall find the dark grow luminous, the void fruitful when
I understand I have nothing, that the ringers in the tower
have appointed for the hymen of the soul a passing bell.

C.G. Jung 1893-1956 ~ Danny Michel 1970- ...If God's On Your Side

One doesnot become enlightened by imagining figures of light,
but by making the darkness conscious.

Julian Norwich 1342-1416 ~ John Hiatt 1952 ... Slow Turning

As the body is clothed in cloth
and the muscles in the skin
and the bones in the muscles
and the heart in the chest,
so are we, body and soul,
clothed in the Goodness of God
and enclosed.

St John of the Cross 1542-1591 ~ Fred Eaglesmith 1957- ...Get On Your Knees & Pray

There in the lucky dark,
none to observe me, darkness far and wide;
no sign for me to mark,
no other light, no guide except for my heart -
the fire, the fire inside!

George Moore 1852-1933 ~ Crow & Spooky Tooth ...Evil Woman

Did I love thee? I only did desire to
hold thy body unto mine and smite it with
the strange fire of kisses burning as a wine!

Piero Ferruci ~ Homer Banks-Carl Hampton-Ray Jackson & Faithless ...If Loving You Is Wrong (I Don't Want To Be Right) ~ Millie Jackson ~ Faithless

To be faithful to another - whether a
person, principle or divinity - means being
faithful to oneself, transparent to oneself.

Bhagavad Gita ~ David Bowie 1947- ...Strangers When We Meet

A gift is pure when it is given from the heart to the
right person at the right time and at the right place,
and when we expect nothing in return...And a gift given
to the wrong person, at the wrong time and the wrong place,
or a gift which comes not from the heart...is a gift of darkness.

Edna St. Vincent Millay 1892-1950 ~ Saint Sarah (Sara the Black) & Gypsy Festival @ Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer

My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends -
It gives a lovely light!

Ernest Holmes 1887-1960 ~ Janis Ian 1951- ...When The Party's Over

In all probability, there is a body within a body to infinity.

Mary Baker Eddy 1821-1910 ~ Bob Dylan 1941- ... Senor (Tales Of Yankee Power) ~ Jerry Garcia 1942-1995

A discontented, discordant mortal is no more a man
than discord is music. A picture in the camera or a
face reflected in the mirror is not the original,
though resembling it. Man, in the likeness of his Maker,
reflects the central light of being, the invisible God.
As there is no corporeality in the mirrored form, which
is but a reflection, so man, like all things real, reflects
God, his divine Principle, not in a mortal body.
