Peace out!

[Michael Gary Scott]

@The Concrete Runner Post a song or something that calms you down. Like a favorite song?

I have a bunch. One that comes to mind right away is Black by Pearl Jam. It was one I first heard in my teenager years.

How about you?

One of those classical piano pieces I posted previously.. I had an ear for classical music pretty young, something about the passion when they play.




Ah nice!


This coldplay song is really chill, I spent a lot of my youth in Sweden so they listen to different music.

Lyrics
Some walk in broken shoes.
So what does that mean?
God the Father who lives in heaven
may want it so?
God the Father who lives in heaven,
closes and sleeps sweetly.
Who cares for a pair of broken shoes
when you're old and tired?
Who cares how the days go?
They walk as they please.
Citizens, in one hundred years
do not exist anymore.
Then someone has taken your chair
- you don't know. you
do not feel rain or sun
in your dark grave.
Who cares about how the nights go?
- I don't care a trace.
Only I can have my face left,
hidden in my sweetheart's hair.
I'm a doubtful figure
doesn't do much.
Behind a corner death is waiting,
he will take me whenever he wants.
Some wear broken shoes
until they have stopped walking.
The devil who lives in hell
gets a good laugh then.

Henry David Thoreau

Life in the woods

Thank you for this! Seems like a really cozy book. Will order a copy and check it out. Life back in the day



Walden; or, Life in the Woods
by Henry David Thoreau

Walden (also known as Walden; or, Life in the Woods) by Henry David Thoreau is one of the best-known non-fiction books written by an American. Published in 1854, it details Thoreau’s life for two years, two months, and two days in second-growth forest around the shores of Walden Pond, on land owned by Ralph Waldo Emerson, not far from his friends and family in Concord, Massachusetts. Walden was written so that the stay appears to be a year, with expressed seasonal divisions. Thoreau called it an experiment in simple living. Thoreau lived in close geographical proximity to the town Concord: “living a mile from any neighbor,” should be taken literally; he lived about a mile from his neighbors. He did not go into the woods to become a hermit, but to isolate himself from civil society in order to gain a more objective understanding of it. Walden is neither a novel nor a true autobiography, but a social critique of much of the contemporary Western World, with its consumerist attitudes and its distance from and destruction of nature.

I recommend this to ALL!

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature

An absolutely life changing read! His insights into our species and our relationship with the natural world is incredible.

This might not be everyone's cup of tea but as a farmer who through sheer stubborn stupidity refuses to give up on the old ways that made us great....this gets Me every time.

Including the crows(?) in the beginning was genius! Adds a lot of the whole clip, besides that the background to the singers was superb not to mention the vocals. Here is the things with humans, and this applies to any human. Set them to do a task for 20+ years and they will excel at it.

I love watching people that have perfected an art perform, even if it's a hula hoop.

That's why diversity is so great! It is so interesting for me to know what drives people, what calms them. We all have experienced life so differently, and here on Meso we are brought together so we can share and learn about others. Am sure Millard could make tons of money doing something else, instead he chose to create a place for people to meet and share life experiences. That is powerful.

Well life wouldn't be fun if we were perfect now would it? Maybe in a year or two you can share.

@Logan44551 Haha my cats have been loving the jellyfish videos all day, they have been lying in my bed all relaxed watching them swim and listening to those cradling ambient sounds reverberating around the room at the speed of sound.

Sworder, are you a people watcher when in public?
