...recently helped a woman move from her house on a hill to an apartment in town, and built some fires to burn the trash, and a few other things, talking and laughing most of the time, and I could not help but notice the spontaneous good vibes. I don't really trust expectations anymore regarding women -considering all the illusions I have followed-but the present moment keeps returning both of us to peaceful understanding and laughter, so...goin with the flow...
Do walls always arise from fear? Of sorrow, or rejection,or some other pain we build shields against all of our lives?... within and between minds...to hold onto some illusion of security or power that benefits noone over time...
..."Boys of mine, as your fortune comes to carry you down the line, and you watch while the changes unfold, and you sort among the stories you'll be told...If some pieces of the picture are hard to find, and the answers to your questions are hard to hold...Take good care of your mother, when you're making up your mind.. Should one thing or another, take you from behind....Though the world may make you hard and wild, and determine how your life is styled, when you've come to feel that you're the only child...Take good care of your brother...Let the disappointments pass, let the laughter fill your glass, let your illusions last until they shatter...Whatever you might hope to find among the thoughts that'll crowd your mind..There won't be many that ever really matter.. Take good care of your mother... and remember to be kind, when the pain of another will serve you to remind.. that there are those who feel themselves exiled..on whom the fortune never smiled, and upon whose lives the heartache has been piled..they're just looking for another lonely child... And when you've found another soul who sees into your own.. take good care of each other...take good care of each other...when you're thinking you're alone...beware of each other... when you're looking for something of your own... take good care of each other...take good care of each other..." -J.Browne
