Another successful attempt at script-writing! :-)

The Great Tiller Man: Cat Stevens

Cat Stevens has created a lot of soulful songs in his early music career before he left the limelight and sought a new faith. But I believe his songs and his words transcend generations, beliefs and religions. I don't have a favorite Cat Stevens' song. They're little masterpieces all on their own.

The Wind

I listen to the wind

To the wind of my soul

Where I'll end up well I think,

Only God really knows

I've sat upon the setting sun

But never, never never never

I never wanted water once

No, never, never, never

I listen to my words but

They fall far below

I let my music take me where

My heart wants to go

I swam upon the devil's lake

But never, never never never

I'll never make the same mistake

No, never, never, never

On busy days...

On busy days when the steady hum of mundane chores overwhelm me, I look back on the quiet, bright places I've been to and everything else disappears.

Someday soon. I'll roam once more. To places where everything is new and different.

Then I snap out of it and I get back to my chores. :-)

Here's my latest attempt at screen-writing! :-)

At 26

Dear Life,

Let me be wrong today than risk the fear of not knowing.

Let 26 be the age to start a new adventure.

Let me be 4 again and be shameless and arrogant.

Let me be 12 again and be confused in the middle of a daze.

Let me be 16 again and live for romance and summer dances under the starlit sky.

Let me make just one more mistake, before I leave all else to fate,

before I let go of the little girl in me.

Let me be careless for one more day.

Let me take that leap of faith.

-with fingers crossed,

Me at 26
