Without any supporting reason, life is sometimes just pretty damn good.


***





I found a little plot of land
In the garden of Eden
It was dirt, and dirt is all the same






I tilled it with my two hands
And I called it my very own
There was no one to dispute my claim






Well, you'd be shocked at the state of things
The whole place had just cleared right out
It was hotter than hell, so I laid me by a spring
For a spell as naked as a trout






The wandering eye that I have caught
Is as hot as a wandering sun
But I will want for nothing more, in my garden
Start again, in my hardening to every heart but one






Meet me in the garden of Eden
Bring a friend
We are gonna have ourselves a time
We are gonna have a garden party
It's on me, no, sirree, it's my dime






We broke our hearts in the war between
St. George and the dragon
But both, in equal part are welcome to come along
I'm inviting everyone






Farewell to loves that I have known
Even muddiest waters run
Tell me, what is meant by sin, or none in a garden
Seceded from the union in the year of A.D. 1






The unending amends you've made
Are enough for one life
Be done
I believe in innocence, little darling
Start again
I believe in everyone
I believe, regardless
I believe in everyone

Bowlfulls of coffee. Is that ever really enough :) It has been suggested to me that I should use the coffee pot as my cup and just add creamer to that!
Wonderful journal entry! ;) and thank you for including me.

P.S. Remember- Christina Rossetti
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day.
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

Someone used to recite this to me a long time ago and I can't remeber who it was! Isn't that awful. :)

And never decaf! I've sometimes had a break from drinking coffee, but it's narcotics, really, so the withdrawal, the homeostatic change, is unpleasant. I usually drink pretty normal, lightly roasted coffees, popular in the Northern Europe, but my favourites are really brands such as the fresh Caribbean Pico Duarte or the sweet South-Eastern Asian Monsoon Malabar. Coffee, coffee - sometimes I just wish I smoked too. In particular after seeing Jim Jarmusch's Coffee and Cigarettes. :lol:

"Someone used to recite this to me a long time ago and I can't remember who it was!"

Dear me, I hope that to speak about the "power of words" is really a mere idiom. :fear:

Sorry for the late reply. My poor dog died this weekend. A member of our family for 13 and 1/2 years. Before that I got sick and had to go to the hospital and had finals for my classes for the last two days. Probably more than you wanted to know :) Coffee was my only saving grace :) Smoking is no good, just one addiction at a time and if coffee is it I can't complain. I'm going to see if I can find that movie on the internet somewhere.

I think the power of words is the feeling that they leave you with. To be cherished at any point whether you remember the voice it came from or not, the intention behind them remains connected and the same. Spirit to spirit so to speak. So not to remember who said it, I think spirit does not forget :).

Oh noes, sorry for the dog. :| I haven't been much around myself - too much to read, and then some gigs to enjoy. Joanna Newsom (as in the lyrics that make up the text part of this journal entry) was visiting Finland and offered a very animated, dedicated, cheerful, creative and professional performance.

So, exchange in words is exchange in possessed vessels? Hmm. I've always tended against stable links between signs and signifieds.

:) Though it doesn't reflect my primary attunement to your white blossoms, doesn't it react to the toucan in a rather interesting manner?
