This is a song I have been listening to and I really wish you could listen too (actually, you can listen to a sample here if you click Nine Horses: 02). And this is a photograph Joe took and I MADE SO BEAUTIFUL in photoshop. I will be back tomorrow morning to tell you about two nightmares I had: one was last night (so no sleep) and the other one was about a week ago. No rest for the wicked.
It’s a wonderful world
And you take and you give
And the sun fills the sky
In the space where you live
It’s a day full of dreams
It’s a dream of a day
And the joy that it brings
Nearly sweeps her away
It’s a wonderful world
As the buildings fall down
And you quicken your step
’til your feet leave the ground
And you’re soaring above
All the sorrow below
And you’re falling in love
With those you don’t know
And your heart feels so wide
And your heart fills so strong
It was never a place
That you felt you belonged
It’s a wonderful world
Full of wonderful things
And the people fall down
And abandon their dreams
(I hear him, he’s talking out loud
Sometimes he whistles while walking
How could he know any better?
I weep for him, I weep for him now)
It’s a wonderful world
It’s a real crying shame
Cause she’s hurting herself
In a violent way
And there’s people she knows
That won’t even try
And they’re trapped in their lives
Feeling terrified
And it’s in times like these
That she promised to call
But the scale of our love
Is diminished and small
It’s a wonderful world
And she doesn’t know why
She wakes up each day
And continues to cry
(He’s sleeping his troubles away
He’s finding it too hard to bear
I’m with him every step of the way
I weep for him, I weep for him now)
It’s a wonderful world
And you take and you give
And the sun fills the sky
In the space where you live
Nine Horses (David Sylvian’s group) - Wonderful World

you did indeed make so beautiful
M’s picture!
i thought of you (and me!)
when i read this…
“When one is truly rich, inwardly,
ordinary life becomes a form
of torture. You feel humiliated
by banality.”

Nice song and the picture is really cute (how cute can old cars be? but they are!)…Oh nightmares are bad, but they have the good side too: when you wake up and they’re gone

Photoshop makes everything beautiful.
So sorry to hear your having nightmares. In the last one I had, (er, the last one that really scared me), a little green and yellow bird flew like a missile into my face. I woke up with a yell, twisted in a fetal position.
