The heart is cooking a pot of food for you. Be patient until it is cooked
I didn't really like confessional poetry or things. They seemed sort of dated to me, or just corny.
I don't know if you look back on your life and just see successes, but probably the first things that pop up are the regrets.
Traditionally, when we lived here [in Portland], we have a record player in the living room, and there's lots of stuff playing, all different kinds of music. I don't listen to any of those Internet radio things. I have iTunes on my thing, but I've never bought a single thing on it. Except for "Call Me Maybe," for the kids or whatever. Carly Rae Jepsen.
When I see four young kids in a band, I think, That looks really fun, no matter how shitty they are. You develop your own thing, and get excited about your band name. It's all so harmless.
If you'd rather learn how to ride a horse or something, I would say do that. That'll keep you out of trouble. You would think a band would get you in trouble, but I think it's the opposite.
I just don't think people listen. I mean, they can't listen to a whole album closely without checking their iPhone or wanting to skip to their favorite song, or putting something else on, practically. That's why the zone out is a good thing.
There isn't any virtue where there has never been any temptation.
We need to be able to set all of the voices aside, and then go to the still, small voice and say, "Show me the truth of this situation. "
I was cured all right.
Take nothing for granted. Not one blessed, cool mountain day or one hellish, desert day or one sweaty, stinky, hiking companion. It is all a gift.
