T TRUST YOURSELF

R REALIZING

U UNDERSTANDING

S SIMPLIFIES

T TRUSTING VIBES

I THINK MOST OF US START OUT WITH TRUST

BUT THEN OVER TIME LEARN TO ADJUST

WHEN WE TRUST TOO MANY UNTRUSTWORTHY

THERE ARE A LOT OF THEM OUT THERE IT SEEMS

SO HOW DO WE FIND THE TRUSTWORTHY ONES

AFTER SO MUCH DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE

YOU MUST LEARN TO TRUST YOUR INTUITION

TRUSTWORTHY GUIDANCE IS ITS MISSION

LEARN TO TRUST THE VIBES YOU GET

IT MAY TAKE TIME DON'T BE UPSET

 IF YOU LOOK BACK ON PAST MISTAKES

SOMETIMES THAT IS ALL IT TAKES

TO REALIZE YOU IGNORED THOSE VIBES

WHEN YOU GET A STRONG FEELING YOU CAN'T SHAKE

PAY ATTENTION THAT'S ALL IT TAKES

DON'T QUESTION IT WITH YOUR LOGICAL MIND

JUST TRUST THAT FEELING AND YOU WILL BE FINE

JUST WATCHED RETURN TO ME THAT I HAVEN'T WATCHED IN AGES. I DID A COUPLE OF DAYS OF FILM EXTRA WORK ON IT BUT NEVER SAW MYSELF IN THERE ANYWHERE...ONE DAY AT LINCOLN PARK ZOO BY THE APE HOUSE AND ANOTHER DAY IN A PARK NEAR THE IRISH BAR...I ONLY SAW DAVID DUCHOVYNY THAT I RECOGNIZED FROM X FILES  AT THE ZOO AND AT THE PARK I SAW DAVID DUCHOVNY AGAIN ALONG WITH MINNIE DRIVER AND CARROLL O'CONNOR AKA ARCHIE BUNKER FROM ALL IN THE FAMILY...THE MAIN THING I  REMEMBER WAS HIS BRIGHT  LIGHT BLUE TWINKLING EYES WHEN HE  SMILED  AND HIS  LAUGHTER. HE WAS JOKING AROUND A LOT WITH THE CREW ... IT WAS NICE TO SEE THAT SIDE OF HIM. I HAD ONLY SEEN HIM ON TV IN ALL IN THE FAMILY AS THE GRUMPY ARCHIE BUNKER...I DON'T EVER REMEMBER SEEING HIM SMILE ON THAT SHOW...MY DAD USED TO LIKE TO WATCH IT...ANYWAY THAT IS THE MAIN  AND PRETTY MUCH ONLY THING I REMEMBER ABOUT WORKING ON THAT MOVIE...

I FIND THIS INTERESTING...I WAS WATCHING A COURSE ON THE FIVE ELEMENTS  AT EDEN ENERGY TODAY ON THE ELEMENT OF WATER WHICH HAPPENS TO BE ONE OF MY DOMINANT ELEMENTS ALONG WITH EARTH...ANYWAY IN ONE OF THE SEGMENTS THEY MENTIONED A MOVIE CALLED AUGUST RUSH I HAD NEVER HEARD OF BEFORE AND THEY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IT SO AFTER WATCHING THE WATER MODULE I WENT OVER TO PRIME VIDEO TO SEE IF THEY HAD  IT AND IT WAS ON SALE  AVAILABLE TO BUY SO I GOT IT...AS I STARTED WATCHING IT THIS SONG A MARVELOUS NIGHT FOR A MOON DANCE I THINK IT IS CALLED CAME ON AND I THOUGHT HOW ODD THAT WAS CUZ I HAD RECENTLY CHECKED TO SEE IF PRIME VIDEO HAD AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON AND THEY DID NOT HAVE IT AVAILABLE BUT I REMEMBER THAT SONG WAS IN IT...ALSO SOMEONE WAS TALKING ABOUT AUGUST RUSH AND THEY SAID HE SAID THE MOON TOLD HIM TO FOLLOW THE MUSIC AND THAT BROUGHT BACK A MEMORY OF A POEM/SONG I WROTE ABOUT THE MAN IN THE MOON TALKING TO ME...HOW ODD...I HAD A TUNE IN MY HEAD WHEN I WROTE THAT SONG AND REMEMBER THE NIGHT I WROTE IT  WAITING AT A BUS STOP ON MY WAY HOME LOOKING UP AT THE MOON AND  THE WORDS CAME TO ME...THE MAN IN THE MOON'S BEEN TALKIN TO ME HE SAID YOU DO SOMETHING SOON BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE... DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO WITHOUT DELAY... DON'T YOU HESITATE YOU'RE WASTIN YOUR TIME...JUST GO TO IT...DON'T THINK ABOUT IT...GO HEAD AND DO IT...YOU WON'T REGRET IT...I CAN HEAR IT IN MY HEAD ON A BAND REHEARSAL TAPE...WE ONLY TRIED TO DO THAT ONE A COUPLE OF TIMES AND NEVER GOT IT QUITE RIGHT BUT THE ONLY COPY I AM AWARE OF THAT I HAVE ON CASSETTE WHERE WE STOPPED AT THE ALMOST END OF THE SONG I REMEMBER LAUGHING AND SAYING CLOSE ENOUGH....AND THE DRUMMER LAUGHED AND SAID CLOSE ENOUGH...CLOSE ENOUGH FOR ROCK N ROLL...WHAT STRANGE COINCIDENCES THIS MOVIE HAS BROUGHT SO FAR...CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT...HAD TO STOP TO WRITE THIS DOWN CUZ I DIDN'T WANNA FORGET TO SHARE IT...I SHOULD TRY TO FIND THAT REHEARSAL CASSETTE AND COPY IT TO DIGITAL AND SHARE IT WITH THE REST OF MY OLD BAND SONGS ON YOU TUBE...THE SOUND QUALITY ISN'T GREAT BUT IT'S ALL I GOT AND BETTER THAN NOTHING I THINK...I HAVE TO SEE IF I CAN FIND IT...IT'S HERE SOMEWHERE...I USED TO JUST BRING MY CASSETTE PLAYER WITH ME TO REHERSALS AND RECORD  THE REHEARSALS...THAT WAS HOW I MEMORIZED THE SONGS...I WOULD LISTEN TO THEM AND SING ALONG...WE HAD A DOZEN OR SO...OK GOTTA GET BACK TO THAT MOVIE AND SEE IF ANY OTHER STRANGE COINCIDENCES OR MEMORIES HAPPEN...LOVING IT SO FAR...I AM GLAD THEY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IT AS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF A WATER ELEMENT PERSON...

A FUN DREAM LIKE MEMORY OF TEA TIME WITH ELOISE AT THE PLAZA HOTEL IN THE EIGHTIES...I WENT ON THE JAMES DEAN WALKING TOUR AND MET A FRIEND OF DAVID AND LENNY'S MICHELE GARVAL WHO LIVED IN THE VILLAGE...SHE OFFERED TO SHOW ME SOME SIGHTS WHILE I WAS THERE. I REALLY WANTED TO GO TO CONEY ISLAND SO WE WENT THERE ONE DAY AND WALKED AROUND...WE WENT ON THE WONDER WHEEL..I WANTED TO STAY THERE TIL NIGHT TIME CUZ I WANTED TO SEE ALL THE CARNIVAL RIDE LIGHTS ON AT NIGHT BUT SHE SAID IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS AT NIGHT THERE...I WAS DISAPPOINTED BUT I GUESS BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY....SHE HAD A LOT OF DOLLS AND STUFFED ANIMALS...SHE HAD AN ELOISE DOLL AND SUGGESTED WE GO FOR TEA TIME AT THE PLAZA HOTEL WITH ELOISE...THAT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING SILLY AND FUN TO DO...I DON'T REMEMBER FOR SURE  IF I ACTUALLY HAD TEA CUZ  MY PREFERENCE IS COFFEE BUT WE DID GO THERE FOR TEA OR AT TEA TIME WITH ELOISE AND SO MANY PEOPLE STOPPED BY OUR TABLE ASKING IF THAT WAS ELOISE WE WERE WITH AND TO SAY HI TO HER...IT WAS JUST A SILLY FUN TIME... I CAN'T STOP WATCHING IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU AND ONE PART IN THERE THEY END UP GOING TO THE PLAZA HOTEL WHICH BROUGHT BACK THE MEMORY OF GOING THERE ONCE  UPON A TIME WITH ELOISE  AT TEA TIME...IT WAS KINDA SURREAL AND DREAM LIKE SO I SUPPOSE THAT IS WHY THE MEMORY FEELS THAT WAY...

YOUNG AT HEART FULL OF HOPES AND DREAMS

BELIEVER OF HAPPY ENDINGS

ALWAYS LOOKING ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

JUST  CAN'T HIDE THOSE POSITIVE VIBES

WANTING THE BEST FOR EVERYONE

AND OFCOURSE TO HAVE LOTS OF FUN

TRUST YOUR SOUL TO SHOW YOU THE WAY

THAT EVERYTHING WILL BE O.K.

IF YOU CARE TOO MUCH OR NOT ENOUGH

THINGS CAN GET PRETTY MESSED UP

IF YOU PUT OTHERS FIRST

THINGS CAN BE EVEN WORSE

I THINK FEW BALANCE THE SCALES

AND SO THEN DESPAIR PREVAILS

THERE MUST BE SOME WAY OUT

BUT I TEND TO HAVE MY DOUBTS

UPS AND DOWNS CAN BE FOUND ALL AROUND

THE ROLLERCOASTER OF LIFE... HANG ON TIGHT

PEOPLE DO A LOT OF THINGS

THAT MAKE NO SENSE TO ME

LIKE CUT FLOWERS IN A VASE

SEEM TO ME SO OUT OF PLACE

WHY NOT PLANT THEM OUTSIDE 

AND LET THEM LIVE THEIR LIVES

DON'T CUT THEM DOWN IN THEIR PRIME

WHY NOT GET A POTTED PLANT

IF YOU WANT THEM INSIDE

SAME GOES FOR ONES THAT PEOPLE WEAR

WHAT A WASTE LET'S NOT GO THERE

JUST LET THEM DIE A NATURAL DEATH

THEY'LL SPREAD THEIR SEEDS AND YOU WILL GET

MORE LIVE FLOWERS TO ENJOY

IF YOU LIKE TO LOOK AT THEM

TAKE A PICTURE IT LASTS LONGER

AND NO HARM DONE TO THE FLOWER

OR YOU CAN EVEN SKETCH THEM TOO

WHAT HARM HAVE THEY EVER DONE TO YOU

 I ASKED ALEXA WHAT TIME IT WAS

AND THIS WAS HER REPLY

IT'S GONNA BE A THRILLING THURSDAY

I HAVE TO WONDER WHY

IS SHE A FORTUNE TELLER NOW

WHAT A STRANGE THING TO SAY

I ASKED HER AGAIN

IT WAS THREE THIRTY FIVE A.M.

THEN ASKED FOR CHICAGO WEATHER

AND AFTER SHE ANSWERED

WENT BACK TO THE MOVIE THAT JUST ENDED

OR SO I THOUGHT

BUT IT STARTED PLAYING CHICAGO INSTEAD

I HAD JUST WATCHED GET SHORTY

WHEN I BACKTRACKED TO SEE WHY IT PLAYED CHICAGO

I SAW HERE IS WHAT I FOUND

SO GUESSING IT WAS WHEN I ASKED FOR CHICAGO WEATHER

ALEXA WENT THERE FIRST BEFORE SHE ANSWERED MY WEATHER QUESTION

HOW BIZARRE

WHAT A WAY TO START THE DAY

IT STARTED AS A POEM THAT TURNED INTO PROSE

GONNA BE A WEIRD DAY I SUPPOSE
