Sight Giving Perspective

More From Robert A. Heinlein

What is missing in a lot of urban music is perspective. you hear a lot of regurgitated perspective. it's a lot of: out at the club. had drinks. patrón. big booties. it's this regurgitated idea of living in this, i don't know, one-night-stand moment that always starts at the club and patrón. and so perspective, perspective, perspective is what i'm an advocate of.
Night Urban Music Ideas
Crabbed age and youth cannot live together; youth is full of pleasure, age is full of care; youth like summer morn, age like winter weather; youth like summer brave, age like winter bare. youth is full sport, age's breath is short; youth is nimble, age is lame; youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; youth is wild, age is tame. age, i do abhor thee; youth, i do adore thee.

It is a great thing to be at your age... you are at a very specific time of age ... an age where you can follow all your dreams. but also at an age when you can change-you can change your dreams, you can change paths. when you start something when you're young, you should not decide 'this is it, this is my way and i will go all the way.' you have the age where you can change. you get experience, and maybe dislike it and go another way. your age is still an age of exploration.
Inspiring Graduation Dream
Great winds and storms help fruit-bearing trees. so also do corruptions and temptations help the fruitfulness of grace and holiness. the storm loosens the earth round its roots so the tree is able to get its roots deeper into the earth, where it receives fresh supplies of nourishment. but only much later will it be seen to bring forth better fruit. so corruptions and temptations develop the roots of humility, self-abasement and mourning in a deeper search for that grace by which holiness grows strong. but only later will there be visible fruits of increased holiness.
Strong Humility Self
Go deeper than love, for the soul has greater depths, love is like the grass, but the heart is deep wild rock molten, yet dense and permanent. go down to your deep old heart, and lose sight of yourself. and lose sight of me, the me whom you turbulently loved. let us lose sight of ourselves, and break the mirrors. for the fierce curve of our lives is moving again to the depths out of sight, in the deep living heart.
Moving Heart Love Is
‎"intellect is the knowledge obtained by experience of names and forms; wisdom is the knowledge which manifests only from the inner being; to acquire intellect one must delve into studies, but to obtain wisdom, nothing but the flow of divine mercy is needed; it is as natural as the instinct of swimming to the fish, or of flying to the bird. intellect is the sight which enables one to see through the external world, but the light of wisdom enables one to see through the external into the internal world.

I'm not an old-fashioned, booze-and-drugs rock 'n' roller. for me, rock 'n' roll is all about doing whatever you want. it's about defying convention and being who you are. i'd rather go swimming or running or kite flying.
