"You never give up, do you.."
"Only when I'm absolutely forced too. But I'm a good loser."
"Well, you've had a lot of practice."

God's Will Be With You

Enjoy the sea
and the wind that carries ye
for its not the wind that
sends me here
its not the interest
nor the weather
or the year

You made it very clear
like looking through glass
You made it very obvious
like tracing my portrait photograph

The thing that puzzles your heart
is the thing that doesn't omit the obvious
But there's a time and a place
and a place in time
for those who are only curious

If joy moves your arms and legs
If spirit pushes your train
If love keeps you open
May you dance in the rain

You made a bridge for me
and stayed on one side
You meant every step you took
while my faith was walking blind

Van Morrison - And the Healing Has Begun

The best things, the real things, the things that matter or affect us the most, cannot be said, or expressed in so many words. Maybe its just the real truth, that cannot be said. That cannot take that risk because its, that, true. Maybe it feels more real if it goes on untold or hidden. Maybe it isn't real at all, if something doesn't compel the heart to shout out about it.
You can't expect a dog to trust an owner that beats it, and still tries to get it to retrieve or come.
As you can't expect to pretend your footprints will be washed away in a desert.
