"Walk while you can"
from Walking Well by Michael J. Gelb and Bruce Fertman
Thoughts: Moments turn into days and months then years and decades. Time can drip away until collective drops become an irreversible pool of missed living through worry and waiting. If you don't like something, don't talk about it, do something. And if you don't know what to do then turn off the clamour and walk and if you can't walk do what you can, breathe, flex any muscle that requires attention to being a living creature rather than a thought machine.
Big Yellow Taxi
by Joni Mitchell
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel *, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
They took all the trees
Put 'em in a tree museum *
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to see 'em
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Hey farmer farmer
Put away that DDT * now
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees
Please!
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Late last night
I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi
Took away my old man
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
