“Break a vase, and the love that reassembles the fragments is stronger than that love which took its symmetry for granted when it was whole.”

A blog about simple pleasures, and more complicated stuff as well. Respectfully dedicated to the delicious fruit beverage of my childhood.
About Me
And I shall drive my chariot
Down your streets a-cryin'
"Hey, its me! I'm dynamite
And I don't know why."

Wise words... bit sad, though.
I just wanted to slip in here before Donn takes up all the comment space.
Donn comments when I'm talking about giving women orgasms..
Now see, I rather like the wisdom in the sadness....
It's the 'taken for granted' that's sad.
I like Mr Walcott
I also find the sadness very positive and wise. Perhaps gwtm hasn't had the benefits of the painful experiences we have had.
I think that this is what Joni meant when she said you don't know what you've got til it's gone...or was it Average White Band..
Pick Up The Pieces Uh-HUH!
MJ knows darn well that if I am to become the master of all media that I must practice giving speeches at the drop of a hat.
All of the others like Adolf and Mao loved to hear themselves talk and talk and talk.
I'll bet that I know more about female orgasms than both of those ninnys so nyeh!
OK maybe not Mao, but fo sho Adolf.
Eva Braun pffft!
I think if you're benchmarking yourself against despots of the 20th century , you might not have got the hang of what women are looking for.
When I'm on a public speaking engagement, I make sure I always finish in under an hour. When I'm with a woman, it's different.
