I took my disappointments, my set backs, My broken dreams, I threw them into a bag And sewed tight the seams
I’m brewing an elixir Of life’s experiences instead If you drink it it’s intoxicating It goes straight to your head
To me it doesn’t matter If you’re the one on top Just keep moving forward And choose not to stop
Life is an alchemical process To experience it is divine You’ll find it gets sweeter The longer it ripens on the vine
So now I’m going to sit back and enjoy it Sip by slow sip Only the finest vintage For this one of a kind life trip.

Can’t remember who said this one…”don’t believe all good men are within your party and all bad men are outside it”
"I am becoming more and more alarmed by the utter meaninglessness of words today, even as the words grow softer and sweeter by the minute. People 'care' a lot, then do nothing with anything but their facile tongues to show that they do. People are 'outraged' or 'concerned,' then sit in the same place and metaphorically cluck over some indignity they will soon forget.
"People are 'thinking' of you and 'praying' for you, but the intention--so beautifully rolled off the tongue--never reaches their feet or legs, and so no action occurs: No help, I am here to tell you, is on the way.
"But they meant well, and they said so. You heard them!"--Harold Pinter/Interview with James Grissom/1997/
Looks like Hem was on to cuddling too.
Plants would rather be defecated on than be loved.

Be sure to wash those plants before eating.
