Rabindranath Tagore 1861-1941 ~ John Lennon 1940-1980 ...Oh, My Love

Love is not a mere impulse, it must contain truth, which is law.

Buddha 563-483BC ~ David Bowie 1947- ...Ashes To Ashes

Live every act fully, as if it were your last.

Mary Baker Eddy 1821-1910 ~ Elton John 1947- & Bernie Taupin 1950- ...I've Seen That Movie Too

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.

Marcus Aurelius 121-180 ~ Stevie Wonder 1950- ...Higher Ground

The Universe is transformation; our life is what are thoughts make it.

Thomas Browne 1605-1682 ~ Moby 1965- ...Whispering Wind

All things are artificial, for Nature is the art of God.

Henry David Thoreau 1817-1862 ~ Van Morrison 1945- ...Spanish Steps

To affect the quality of the day is the highest of the arts.

Albert Einstein 1879-1955 ~ Sandy Denny 1947-1978 ...Who Knows Where The Time Goes ~ Nina Simone 1933-2003

The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.

Alan Watts 1915-1973 ~ Thievery Corporation (Rob Garza & Eric Hilton) ...Beautiful Drug

For the love that express itself in creative action is something much
More than an emotion. It is not something which you can feel and know,
Remember and define. Love is the organizing and unifying principle
Which makes the world a universe and
The disintegrated mass a community.
It is the very essence and character of mind, and becomes
Manifest in action when the mind is whole. For the mind must be
Interested or absorbed in something, just as a mirror must always
Be reflecting something. When it is not trying to be interested in
Itself - as if a mirror would reflect itself - it must be interested,
Or absorbed in other people and things. There is no problem of how to love.
We love. We are love, whether it is to go straight out like sunlight, or
Try to turn back on itself like a "candle under a bushel". Released from
The circle of attempted self-love, the mind of man draws the whole
Universe into its own unity as a single dewdrop seems to contain the entire sky.

John Keats 1795-1821 ~ Jefferson Airplane ...Pretty As You Feel

Beauty is truth, truth beauty, that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 1803-1882 ~ Bob Dylan 1941- ...Gotta Serve Somebody ~ Shirley Caesar 1938-

The secret of culture is to learn that a few great points steadily reappear,
Alike in the poverty of the obscurest farm and in the miscellany of metropolitan life,
And that these few are alone to be regarded - the escape from all false ties;
Courage to be what we are, and love of what is simple and beautiful;
Independence and cheerful relation, these are the essentials - these,
And the wish to serve, to add somewhat to the well-being of men.

William Arthur Ward 1921-1994 ~ Nouvelle Vague ...LaLaLa

The pessimist complains about the wind;
The optimist expects it to change;
The realist adjusts the sails.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 1792-1822 ~ Crosby, Stills & Nash (Paul Kantner 1941- & David Crosby 1941- & Stephen Stills 1945- ) ...Wooden Ships

To suffer woes which Hope thinks infinite;
To forgive wrongs darker than death or night,
To defy power which seems omnipotent;
To love and bear; to hope till Hope creates
From its own wreck the thing it contemplates.

Claudio Naranjo 1932- ~ Jeff Tweedy 1967- ...You Are Not Alone ~ Mavis Staples 1939-

We are...a part of the cosmos, a tide in the ocean of life,
A chain in the network of processes that do not either
Begin or end within the enclosure of our skins.

Hildegarde Von Bingen 1098-1179 ~ Townes Van Zandt 1944-1997 ...Nothing

Fire of the spirit
Life of the lives of creatures
Spiral of sanctity
Bond of all natures
Glow of charity
Lights of clarity
Taste of sweetness to the fallen
Be with us and hear us...

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 1807-1882 ~ Melody Gardot 1985- ... Who Will Comfort Me

Music is the Universal language of mankind.

1: John 3:18 ~ Grateful Dead (Jerry Garcia 1942-1995 & Robert Hunter 1941- ) ... U.S. Blues

Our love must not be a thing of words and fine talk.
It must be a thing of action and sincerity.
