🎼And it seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
Mama, if that's movin' up
Then I'm movin' out

Just got into a little spat. Someone was try ing to arrange a hook up for a friend. He was told, “Don’t bother with X, he’s a doctor and doesn’t have time.” My response: BULLSHIT!. Doctors indeed do important work. But it is not an excuse for being “too busy to be in touch.” All the people I most admire are “too busy to be in touch” – – but they manage to “find the time “ to engage with others.
Emotional intelligence is not about avoiding strong reactions. It’s about being less reactive.
Reactions are hard to control—they’re rapid and visceral. Responses are easier to delay and modify.
A key to emotion regulation is expanding the distance between feelings and actions.

Did literary titan Victor Hugo say:
The theater is not the realm of the real: there are cardboard trees, ... glass diamonds, tinsel gold, …
The theater is the realm of the true: there are human hearts on the stage ... human hearts in the auditorium.

🎼So long
I've been looking too hard, I've waiting too long
Sometimes I don't know what I will find
I only know it's a matter of time
When you love someone

"A person who's happy will make others happy; a person who has courage and faith will never die in misery!" - Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl.

Remembering Anne Frank on her birthday. 💐💐💐
🎼It was songs of love that
I would sing to then
And I'd memorize each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away.

🎵Here I am
The one that you love
Askin' for another day
Understand the one that you love
Loves you in so many ways

Happy 75th birthday, Graham Russell!💐💐💐
🎼I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me
I am a rock I am an island
