Invitation: Awake

The Road / Cormac McCarthy

Just remember that the things you put into your head are there forever, he said. You might want to think about that.

You forget some things, don't you?

Yes. You forget what you want to remember and you remember what you want to forget.

Cormac McCarthy, The Road

"To live a creative life we must lose our fear of being wrong." Joseph Chilton Pearce

"If you press me to tell why I loved him, I feel that this cannot be expressed,

except by answering: Because it was he, because it was I."

Michel de Montaigne, "Of Friendship"

A beautiful and blinding morning

The world outside begins to breathe

See clouds arriving without warning

I need you here to shelter me

And I know that only time will tell us how

To carry on without each other

So keep me awake to memorize you

--From Josh Groban's "Awake"

I had this as my wake-up song last year. Never got tired of it. Especially when you get to hear your favorite singer's voice every morning!
