Words of Wisdom

And whom do you think I would quote some wise words from?  

C.S. Lewis?  No.

The Bible? Tempting, but no.

Sean Watkins?  Yes.

So these lyrics have been stuck in my brain waves for... ever since I have been listening to them.  Let's just say S.W. is a kindred spirit i.e. from the race that knows Joseph (Anne of Green Gables allusion)

"History flies all around me

An angry swarm of mistakes

I ran away, but not far enough.  

I thought they were gone, 

I didn't realize

I kept them alive

in the back of my mind

If I could forget, it would starve them to death"

Oh how wise!  Does something ever get dredged up in your memory and you feel the same as the aforementioned verse?  It just resonates with me man.  I'm telling you.  

After that little nugget I'll bet you're thinking "Thank you sir, I'll have another"

So, here you are.  

"Your words they never go

They've made my head their own

Though I often scold

I try to shoe them away

But they always stay 

and it's getting old.

If there's nothing there

Then why do I spend all the day

Entertaining them

Rewind and play it again"

Once again, perhaps this harkens to my need for rhythm and rhyme, but I love this.  Some people's words just get stuck in my noggin.  Like, this insult someone delivered to me in high school.  Still knockin' around in there.  

But, as Eleanor Roosevelt said "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent"  

And so, I will mercifully end this post.  With a quote.
