LISTENING TO MYSELF

 

Do I have a same sounding spin

that everyone in the room has

heard from me over and over again?

Same songs – same sounds – same stories -

same spin – same spin – same spin?

Uh oh – I haven’t heard this ongoing

repetition of the same, same stories –

so I might as well do the listening and

make them  love songs – and no more complaint songs.

Quote for Today

"Why hope to live a long life if we're only going to fill it with self-asorption, body maintenence and image repair? When we die do we want people to exclaim, 'She looked ten years younger,' or do we want them to say, 'She lived a great life?'

Letty Cottin Pogrebin,

"When I sell liquor, they call it  bootlegging. When my patrons serve it on silver trays on Lake Shore Drive, they call  it  hospitality."
