kindness moving aging
An inherent kindness exists in the process of aging ... we are allowed to move along gradually.
nice moving passion
Such physical matters were nice, yet, to him, intelligence and passion born of living, the ability to move and be moved by subtleties of the mind and spirit, were what really counted.
moving ignorance years
It's clear to me now that I have been moving toward you and you toward me for a long time. Though neither of us was aware of the other before we met, there was a kind of mindless certainty bumming blithely along beneath our ignorance that ensured we would come together. Like two solitary birds flying the great prairies by celestial reckoning, all of these years and lifetimes we have been moving toward one another.
mother children moving
When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children, in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you're expected to move again only you don't remember what moves you because no one has asked in so long. Not even yourself.
karma moving clothes
For we have come by different ways to this place... I can tell by the natural ease with which you wear fine clothes and the way your mouth moves when you speak with waiters in good restaurants. You have come the way of castles and cathedrals, of elegance and empire.
once-in-a-lifetime kind certain
This kind of certainty comes but just once in a lifetime!
song reality
The reality is not exactly what the song started out to be, but it's not a bad song.
art adversity remember
Remember the great adversity of art or anything else is a hurried life.
sea sail highways
I am the highway and a peregrine and all the sails that ever went to sea
art safety giving
Sometime I'm going to do an essay called 'The Virtues of Amateurism' for all of those people who wish they earned their living in the arts. The market kills more artistic people than anything else. It's a world of safety out there, for most people. They want safety, the magazines and manufacturers give them safety, give them homogeneity, give them the familiar and comfortable, don't challenge them.
lying fiction strange
It's kind of strange-- in fiction you get to tell lies and are applauded for it.
passion artistic
The market kills more artistic passion than anything else.
war talking long
The curse of modern times is the preponderance of male hormones in places where they can do long-term damage. Even if were not talking about wars between nations or assaults on nature, there's still that aggressiveness that keeps us apart from each other and the problems we need to be working on.
wheels conformity uniformity
We're all getting lashed to the great wheel of uniformity.
