Memorable Passages

I'd smoked my brain the night before, on cigarettes and songs that I'd been pickin'
But I lit my first and watched a small kid cussin' at a can that he was kickin'
Then I crossed the empty street and caught the Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken
And it took me back to somethin' that I'd lost somehow, somewhere along the way

On the Sunday morning sidewalk, wishin' Lord, that I was stoned
'Cause there's something in a Sunday, makes a body feel alone
And there's nothin' short of dyin', half as lonesome as the sound
On the sleepin' city sidewalk, Sunday mornin' comin' down

In the park I saw a daddy, with a laughing little girl who he was swingin'
And I stopped beside a Sunday school and listened to the song that they were singin'
Then I headed back for home and somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin'
And it echoed through the canyons like the disappearing dreams of yesterday

I'm Your Man

If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
If you want a partner, take my hand, or
If you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
I'm your man

If you want a boxer
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a doctor
I'll examine every inch of you
If you want a driver, climb inside
Or if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can
I'm your man

Ah, the moon's too bright
The chain's too tight
The beast won't go to sleep
I've been running through these promises to you
That I made and I could not keep

Ah, but a man never got a woman back
Not by begging on his knees
Or I'd crawl to you baby and I'd fall at your feet
And I'd howl at your beauty like a dog in heat
And I'd claw at your heart, and I'd tear at your sheet
I'd say please (please)
I'm your man

And if you've got to sleep a moment on the road
I will steer for you
And if you want to work the street alone
I'll disappear for you
If you want a father for your child
Or only want to walk with me a while across the sand
I'm your man

If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you

- Leonard Cohen

. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

[Mid]

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor

The time has come
The walrus said
To talk of many things:
Of shoes - and ships -
And sealing wax -
Of cabbages and kings -
And why the sea is boiling hot -
And whether pigs have wings.

― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

[Boon Mee]

Empty is only the warp of our tapestry,
Part of God's pattern, is only the interval,
Only the silence that shapes His pale music
Remembered, recorded, when drifting from dreams
In that sleep-darkened tent where our souls
Slake their thirst for the new, for the novel,
And the stone still rolls down the million-year cliff
From the beginning of dreams, the red heat of the plains,
The quest for safe shelter, the consuming of carrion....

Yet if dreams hold an answer, as flowers hold fog,
They must answer with breath, and, if they answer,
Must dance among stars, and have their own songs
Of the body and blood, and must sing them.

Vanderleun - Lucid Dreaming

Our Father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil
Amen
