More From Henry Miller

Panic. you open your mouth. open it so wide your jaws creak. you order your lungs to draw air, now, you need air, need it now. but your airways ignore you. they collapse, tighten, squeeze, and suddenly you're breaithing through a drinking straw. your mouth closes and your lips purse and all you can manage is a croak. your hands wriggle and shake. somewhere a dam has cracked open and a flood of cold sweat spills, drenches your body. you want to scream. you would if you could. cut you have to breathe to scream. panic.

The song that i will sing is an old song, so old that none knows who made it. it has been handed down through generations and was taught to me when i was but a little lad. it is now my own song. it belongs to me. this is a holy song (medicine-song), and great is its power. the song tells how, as i sing, i go through the air to a holy place where yusun (the supreme being) will give me power to do wonderful things. i am surrounded by little clouds, and as i go through the air i change, becoming spirit only.

I'm not very good at the accordion. if i played guitar, i wouldn't be on anyone's album. but because i play the accordion and no one else does, i end up doing strange things.

You know the one with the big ears? wait a minute, he ain't my president, he might be yours, he ain't my president. you know that woman he had singing for him, singing my song - she's gonna get her a- whipped. the great beyoncé but i can't stand beyoncé. she has no business up there, singing up there on a big ol' president day singing my song that i've been singing forever.
Song Waiting Forever
The edith head trio, i would say, would be even less of a musical career than playing the accordion, particularly because i played the accordion in the edith head trio. i'm very impressed by your googling. the edith head trio and another band, tzamboni, were two bands i was in after college that played at tiny clubs to little acclaim. our gypsy tango version of "when doves cry" was our biggest hit.but we were not destined for greatness.

...if god teaches us victory in christ jesus day by day, we live in the constant awareness of his greatness and his sufficiency. hard lessons are often long-lasting lessons. never forget that god is far more interested in our getting to know the deliverer than simply being delivered.

I know no other way to associate with great tasks than as play: as a sign of greatness, this is an essential presupposition.

Some people may have greatness thrust upon them. very few have excellence thrust upon them. they achieve it. they do not achieve it unwittingly, by “doin' what comes naturally”; and they don't stumble into it in the course of amusing themselves. all excellence involves discipline and tenacity of purpose.
Greatness Discipline People
Our nation was created in ways that allow human potential to prosper, and it created the greatest nation for people in the history of humanity. now obama is dismantling it, because he has no appreciation for our greatness. in fact, he resents it. he blames this country for whatever evils he sees around the world.
