Oh Sankofa high in the heavens you soar
My soul is soon to follow you back to yesterday’s moon
Will it remember me back to yesterday’s sun?
It will rekindle me
Rekindle the spirit into tomorrow and high on the wind
Sankofa flies again and again

As much as I despise the self-help-writing trend, I must relay that this is excellent and valuable: http://t.co/NoSEEOn5
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.

and there’s a loyalty that’s deeper than mere sentiment, and a music higher than the songs that I can sing

LOVE OR LEAVE IT, NOW YOU KNOW / IT ISN’T FOR A LAUGH, IT ISN’T FOR A SHOW / HALLELUJAH, GOODNIGHT!

My favorite song.
Mike Birbiglia’s new short film from This American Life LIVE is flippin’ awesome. Starring Terry Gross.

“…but I do believe in love.”
Live To Share
You can seek, but you won’t find it, my love
That is, if you’re seekin’ it all on your own
‘Cause we were meant to share it
Yeah, we were made to share
When your’e alone, you’re wrong, my love
My love
The very worst moments can’t be shared, love
And that’s the very worst, ‘cause I live to share
Yeah, we live to share
And I know if I’d suck in my pride I’d find ya standin’ there
My love
And you know that we can dance if you want to
I won’t push you away
We can carry all the baggage
To the edge of the sea
‘Cause when God made the oceans
He knew all about you and me
And we can share in that, share, so easily
My love
Still, I’m afraid to talk to you, my love
Still, I’m afraid to talk to you, my love
