QUOTE OF THE NOW

"Our life evokes our character. You find out more about yourself as you go on. That's why it's good to be able to put yourself in situations that will evoke your higher nature rather than your lower. 'Lead us not into temptation.'" Joseph Campbell

Fave Childhood Songs: The empathetic child

Just saw a Dr Hook song on a friend's blog, which reminded me of the song "When You're in Love With a Beautiful Woman." Was one of my favorite songs when I was in grade 2 or 3.

I love looking back at fave childhood songs, cause they're so random and mysterious. Okay, not totally random--they came from my parents' record collections after all. But my mother owned A LOT of records, so how I alighted on one song over another, I don't know. I recently read an article about a study that ties empathy in with enjoyment of "easy listening" type music, so I'm glad to see I was starting out life on the right note.



Love the maracas. If you saw this band photo would you guess this was a disco band? The 70s were a mysterious time.
