One for sorrow, two for joy
'Well I dreamed I saw you walking
Up a hillside in the snow
Casting shadows on the winter sky
As you stood there Counting Crows...'
Lyrics by Counting Crows, A Murder of One
Cloud Illusions
'Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
Looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and they snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all'
Lyrics by Joni Mitchell
Musselroe Bay, NE Tasmania.
On edge
"She walks along the edge
Of where the ocean
Meets the land
Just like she's walking on a wire in the circus.."
~ lyrics to Round Here by Counting Crows.
Freedom within
'There is freedom within
There is freedom without...
Don't dream it's over
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
Don't let them win...'
Lyrics to Don't Dream It's Over by Crowded House'
Silence speaks
A source of great strength
A true friend who never betrays
The sleep that nourishes wisdom
More powerful than proving a point
It is golden
A sanctuary for the soul or
An ultimate weapon of power
Whether embraced or imposed
May your silence be filled with bird song and laughter
By this, if a weapon, may it lose its power.
Unguarded moment
Tell those friends
Their jokes
Don't make me laugh
Those men
With horses for hearts
So deep, deep
Without meaning
They only make me feel...
Lyric poem, An Unguarded Moment, by The Church.
Ascribe greatness
The world contained
Some useful frames
For understanding
Evolution
A deep scientific wariness
Of ascribing human emotions
To other species
More than one whale biologist
Believe these species
Feel love more
Than humans
- quote from 'Why are we like this: an evolutionary search for life's big answers' by Zoe Kean, New South, 2024.
Midden mortar
In the end
We all become stories
