...while on an Artist Retreat in Grand Marais, i declared (to myself alone) that this song was the theme and mantra of my week-long adventure on my own. I will never forget that trip... i learned a little bit about taking a chance on an art form i was too scared to fail at, so never tried... but i learned even more about myself. I still dream, even tho i am content. I feel i have an Artistic-Hippie-Romantic heart, tho ti may not appear so on a daily basis. I have quiet moments... where even tho i am happy, and content... i still dream.
Golden Moments- JAMES TAYLOR
Now if all my golden momentsCould be rolled into one
They would shine just like the sun
For a summer day
And after it was over
We could have it back again
With credit to the editor
For striking out the rain (very clean)
And all it really needed
Was the proper point of view
No one’s going to bring me down
No one’s going to stop me now
Now I gathered up my sorrows
And I sold them all for gold
And I gathered up the gold
And I threw it all away
It all went for a good time and a song
The laughter was like music
It did float my soul along for awhile
And all it really needed
Was the proper point of view
No one’s going to reach me here
No one’s going to know I’m gone
You may think I must be crazy
And I guess you must be right
But I know the way I feel today is out of sight
I do not trust my senses to remember your name
Without corrective lenses
Things are never twice the same anyway
And all it really needed
Was the proper point of view
