GRACE UNDER PRESSURE
Art. Pre-Raphaelites. Shakespeare. Indie/Guitar/Rock/Classical Music. Taylor Swift.
'I think about what I’d think of my decisions when I’m 80 looking back, and it helps me make sound, responsible choices.' - Taylor Swift
(If you are a band following me in the hopes I will check out your music, I'm sorry but I probably won't. I don't mean to be rude. I usually find new music through NME Radio.)
Sang froid and Equanimity. Grace under pressure.
'Fill the unforgiving minute...'.
'Oh, Maya says I'm lacking in depth,
I will do my best' - The Strokes
'You're all Chrome' - Heads Will Roll - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
'The ballad of a dove. Go with peace and love.' - The Band Perry
'Excuse me if I spoke too soon
My eyes have always followed you around the room' - NGHFB
'Take my hand, knot your fingers through mine / And we'll walk from this dark room for the last time' - Open Your Eyes - SP
'Shut your eyes, I spin the big chair / And you'll feel dizzy, light, and free / And falling gently on the cushion / You can come and sing to me' - Shut Your Eyes - SP
'Come to me. Just in a dream. Come on and rescue me' - Madness - Muse
Desire leads to SUFFERING.
'The whole of life becomes an act of letting go but what always hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye.' - Life of Pi
‘How many people choose their religion, and how many have it thrust upon them? “I was born a Catholic,” I was accustomed to say. In fact, I happened to be born to a Catholic mother and a Lutheran father who agreed that I would be raised in the Catholic church. The truth is, I was born as a baby boy.’
‘People think that race and religion are terribly important, even matters of life and death, when they may be mistaken about race and have never given much thought about why they belong to their religion. A good many people are prepared to kill on the basis of a religion that was chosen for them by a chance of birth.’
‘I know some parents whose choice is to let their children choose. They introduce them to their own religion, if they have one, and to other religions. What religion the child chooses—or none—is left to the child as an adult. I think that’s wise.’ - So do I, Roger. So do I.
