Jump-Rope Rhyme (Tom Hansen)
Tat tvam asi: thou art that- that leaf, that tree, that cow, that cat, that cloud, that sky, that moon, that sun, that you, that I- for all are one. So here you are and there you go and who you were you hardly know. I think this I is only me: a drip, a drop, but not the sea. Yet when I wake from all these dreams, then like the snake, I'll shed what seems: this mask, this skin, this ball and chain. I will begin to fall like rain. Our heart's last home: the wind-whipped foam, the sweet, deep sea. Tat tvam asi. "The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it."
"Reading made Don Quixote a gentleman, but believing what he read made him mad. " "You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race. " George Bernard Shaw |

This is a lovely song sung by Amy Grant I Will Remember You (Lyrics) I will be walking one day Down a street far away And see a face in the crowd and smile Knowing how you made me laugh Hearing sweet echoes of you from the past I will remember you. Look into my eyes while you're near Tell me what's happening here See that I don't want to say, 'good-bye' Our love is frozen in time I'll be your champion and you will be mine I will remember you. Later on, When the nights not so tender Given time, Though it's hard to remember I will be holding I'll still be holding to you I will remember you. So many years come and gone And yet the memory is strong One word we never could learn Good-bye True love is frozen in time I'll be your champion and you will be mine I will remember you So please remember I will remember you I will remember you I will remember you I will remember you "The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it."
