Thinking Destroying Enjoy

More From Janis Joplin

Maybe it’s my own fault. maybe i led you to believe it was easy when it wasn’t. maybe i made you think my highlights started at the free throw line, and not in the gym. maybe i made you think that every shot i took was a game winner. that my game was built on flash, and not fire. maybe it’s my fault that you didn’t see that failure gave me strength; that my pain was my motivation. maybe i led you to believe that basketball was a god given gift, and not something i worked for every single day of my life. maybe i destroyed the game. or maybe you’re just making excuses.

Our life is so short that every time i see my children, i enjoy them as much as i can. whenever i can, i enjoy my beloved, my family, my friends, my apprentices. but mainly i enjoy myself, because i am with myself all the time. why should i spend my precious time with myself judging myself, rejecting myself, creating guilt and shame? why should i push myself to be angry or jealous? if i don't feel good emotionally, i find out what is causing it and i fix it. then i can recover my happiness and keep going with my story.

Do we need to make a special effort to enjoy the beauty of the blue sky? do we have to practice to be able to enjoy it? no, we just enjoy it. each second, each minute of our lives can be like this. wherever we are, any time, we have the capacity to enjoy the sunshine, the presence of each other, even the sensation of our breathing. we don't need to go to china to enjoy the blue sky. we don't have to travel into the future to enjoy our breathing. we can be in touch with these things right now.

If i had been a different sort of person, maybe less impressionable, less intense, less fearful, less utterly dependent upon the perceptions of others - maybe then i would not have bought the cultural party line that thinness is the be-all and end-all of goals. maybe if my family had not been in utter chaos most of the time, maybe if my parents were a little better at dealing with their own lives maybe if i'd gotten help sooner, or if i'd gotten different help, maybe if i didn't so fiercely cherish my secret, or if i were not such a good liar, or were not quite so empty inside... maybe.

If you do not have a loving concern for the environment... it will no longer sustain you - you will not be worthy of it. you will not be destroying the planet, you see. you will not be destroying the birds, or the flowers, or the grain, or the animals... they will be destroying you.

I meet you. i remember you. who are you? you’re destroying me. you’re good for me. how could i know this city was tailor-made for love? how could i know you fit my body like a glove? i like you. how unlikely. i like you. how slow all of a sudden. how sweet. you cannot know. you’re destroying me. you’re good for me. you’re destroying me. you’re good for me. i have time. please, devour me. deform me to the point of ugliness. why not you? why not you in this city and in this night, so like other cities and other nights you can hardly tell the difference? i beg of you.

They have most satisfaction in themselves, and consequently the sweetest relish of their creature comforts.
Comfort Satisfaction Sweetest
There are no words and there is no singing, but the music has a voice. it is an old voice and a deep voice, like the stump of a sweet cigar or a shoe with a hole. it is a voice that has lived and lives, with sorrow and shame, ecstasy and bliss, joy and pain, redemption and damnation. it is a voice with love and without love. i like the voice, and though i can't talk to it, i like the way it talks to me. it says it is all the same, young man. take it and let it be.

Going to do it to you sweet banana, like it's never been done, and we'll get high, high, high, in the mid-day sun.

Sweet, she thought. he must think i can't bear to hear him say it. that after all i have told him and after telling me how many feet i have, "goodbye" would break me to pieces. ain't that sweet. "so long," she murmured from the far side of the trees.
