I may not have much, but I got life.
THIS moment, THIS second, THIS instant, THIS breath, THIS eye blink, THIS thought, I got life!

1. My dear Prisoner_Number_Six !
Wow, that is one crazy video, sweetie!

It made me laugh out loud!

And the lyrics reminded me of this:

Look to this day, for it is life...

The very life of life...

In its brief course lie all

The realities and verities of existence,

The bliss of growth

The splendor of action

The glory of power~~

For yesterday is but a dream,

And tomorrow is but a vision,

But today, well lived,

Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness

And every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Look well, therefore, to this day.


It's a Sanskrit proverb...

3. I don't know much about Sankrit, but I LOVE that.
That video was from the movie production of Hair, BTW. It's well worth watching- it has much to say for this time of war. I have the DVD, and I make a point of watching it occasionally just to renew my rage.

5. Some rages are well worth keeping alive!
I don't know anything about Sanskrit either, but when I ran across that little proverb, I immediately knew it contained a lot of truth!

I've never seen Hair....maybe I should! :think:

7. Yes you should!
It's a classic anti-war musical. It scandalized the 60s establishment for many reasons, not the least of which was the original stage production featured prominent full frontal nudity. Shocking. Shocking. Many a production was closed down because they chose to remain true to the image.
