like a bird that's lost its mate in flight.
i'm alone and oh so blue tonight.
like a piece of drifwood on the sea.
Frenchy, Great lyrics. Hank Williams was the first superstar to die the rockstar's death(partying lifestye). He was a great one. My favorites are Your Cheatin' Heart, Move It On Over, and I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry. 78's-those things look like manhole covers.

Latte, Thanks for the click. I sometimes listen to LOVE94, 93.9FM out of Miami. It's good on Sunday mornings-Jazz brunch.
as i think back on my life now i have come to personally experience a verse from a song: "i'd rather be sorry for something i've done that for something that i didn't do.
" i guess that's just a variation of the old addage: 'its better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all'.
fear is a natural (and good) thing but i wonder how much unwarranted fear has robbed us of things that we would have truly enjoyed.
Frenchy, Great poem. Thanks for your willingness to share this part of yourself with us over the past year.
But no more shall I an audience be.

larc!! Don't feel dumb! Those are the lyrics to the song that no one can understand. Remember pledge night at the Delta house? Louie Louie or Louie Loueye after a pitcher of Bloodies. Written by Richard Berry in 1956.

Fine little girl she waits for me
Me catch the ship for cross the sea
Me sail the ship all alone
Me never think me make it home
*
Louie, Louie, me gotta go
Louie, Louie, me gotta go
*
Three nights and days me sail the sea
Me think of girl constantly
On the ship I dream she there
I smell the rose in her hair
*
Louie, Louie, me gotta go
Louie, Louie, me gotta go
*
Me see Jamaica moon above
It won't be long, me see my love
I take her in my arms and then
Me tell her I never leave again
*
Louie, Louie, me gotta go
Louie, Louie, me gotta go.

words of wisdom on humility.
forgiving.
some people have difficulty saying, im sorry.
Gozz, With your permission I'd like to add these thoughts on humility from the Pirke Avot: Make God's will your will, so that God may make your will his will; make your will nothing before God's will, so that God will make the will of others nothing before your will.And she sells seashells down by the seashore. I'm not attempting to ruin this thread, but thought the following to be worth sharing:
Humility requires that you empty your mind of your own needs, your own desires, your own wants, and focus on what God wants. It requries that you shut out the noise of life, and focus on the tranquility inside.
Well, I've got the emptying of the mind part down.
Why should I be humble? After all, we say, look at where I have arrived in life. I have risen in my profession; I have a good family; I make plenty of money; I am smart, maybe even moreso than the next woman. Certainly my achievements enable me to be proud of what I have accomplished. I don't have to be obnoxious about it, lord it over the next guy. But certainly I should be proud of all that I have done, right? But the religious person considers him/herself created in God's image. If so, our abilities belong to God. If our abilities are God given, then to be successful is no more than to fulfill the potential God planted within us. Who would brag about a gift given to you? Only the Creator or Giver of the gift has the right to brag. The recipient should only be grateful, and if he can't express his gratitude he should say nothing at all. Instead of pride, we should cultivate our sense of gratitude to God for all that God provided to us. To have fulfilled a promise to God by being who God created us to be is not to engender pride, but to feel gratitude that the promise is now fulfilled.
I'll bet I lost half the people after the fourth "will." It is God's intention that we live a life of humility. Get over ourselves-we are insignificant. Pride is irrelevant. Chapter 1 in the course Humility 101 starts here.
The humble person is humble in the way she presents herself, in enduring insults, in disdaining exercising authority over others and shunning applause, and in honoring everyone. Anger is opposite of humility because it places the angry person in a position of superiority over the recipient of anger.
Almost done.
Egotism prevents us from allowing God inside ourselves. Pride makes it impossible to fulfill our function in the world. As God's creatures we are here to fulfill the mission of the Creator. But if the Creator cannot speak to you, she cannot speak through you either. Humility opens the gateway to God's garden, in which is hidden the true mission of our lives. Humility is necessary to discover the divine messages addressed to us daily, the little notes given to us from unsuspecting people and places in our lives. Without humility we will never recognize those messages for what they are: directives from God.
Okay, so it's a spiritual thing. We're not the only ones on this rock with wants and desires. In being humble we'll find the God within and our true selves in God.

Larc, Was that a Fats Domino song? I can hear it playing in my head but somehow it doesn't sound like him. My turn now, where did these lyrics come from: "...me catch the ship for cross the sea. Me sail the ship all alone." Great song. Any clue?

Latte, A belated welcome. The nick 7of9-I was assimilated(sp?)by force unlike my parents. Severed from the collective I've regained nearly all of my human characteristics. Some implants could not be removed-that's forever, like it or not. It's good to have you here.
