🎶 But my silent fears have gripped me Long before I reach the phone Long before my tongue has tripped me Must I always be alone 🎶
🎶Don’t hang around cause two’s a crowd.🎶
🎶 Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? 🎶
Moonlight through the pines.
“Dying is easy, young man. Living is harder.”
Lin-Manuel Miranda, Hamilton.
🎶 Images of sorry, pictures of delight Things that go to make up a life.🎶
🎶 Looking at the world through the sunset in your eyes.🎶
🎶 Hey now, Hey now Don’t dream it’s over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us We know they won’t win🎶
🎶 But still that mockingbird won’t sing.🎶
I support your right to express yourself. (I teach this every day.)
But please know, it is not my responsibility to make you feel better about what you are expressing, and I will not do so ever again.
If you’re spouting shit, you need to be prepared to sleep in it alone.
I’m a lucky guy to be dad to these two.
🎶 After the rain has fallen, After the tears have washed your eyes.🎶
Some days the world just feels off.
People Are Good
When it’s dark, and you’re alone, and it’s been a hard night remember that a light under the covers makes everything in the world alright.
Also remember the most important thing in the world:
People. Are. Good.
Remember that no matter what.
Remember that no matter who tells you otherwise. If they don’t see it, it’s just because they’re scared. They just need a hug.
So give it to them. Because they deserve it.
Because people are good.
🎶How the endless road unwinds you. While you see a chance, take it.🎶
🎶 To be part of the miracles you see in every hour.🎶
🎶I’m hanging on. You’re all that’s left to hold on to. I’m still waiting.🎶
🎶 And a new day will dawn for those who stand long, and the forests will echo with laughter.🎶
🎶 There’s just too much confusion, I can’t get no relief.🎶
Dear Huntsville Police Department:
Perhaps during the next protest, rather than climbing into a sniper’s nest, rather than surrounding a stupid outdated statue on a southern square, rather than avoiding the people to protect brick and mortar, rather than gassing and shooting peaceful protesters for hoping for a sense of humanity from you, perhaps, just perhaps, you could take off your body armor, and just talk to the people?
Maybe?
Believe it or not, that really is all the people are looking for from you.
Just some sense that you’re not our enemy. And that you see us as humans.
And not as targets.
