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

Do you know what you're fighting for?

I love how singer-songwriter Janelle Monáe introduced one of the first singles off her current album (The ArchAndroid):
While listening to "Cold War," you may feel obligated or inclined to find your purpose. You may want to form a huge tribe to help fight against the many things that work against you being your true self, just the way you were uniquely designed. You may even begin to dance while thinking, with a furrowed brow. You may begin to feel an increased responsibility to helping others free themselves from depravity. 
Cold War
I'm trying to find my peace
I was made to believe there's something wrong with me
And it hurts my heart
Lord have mercy, ain't it plain to see?
This is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting for
This is a cold war
Do you know what you're fighting for?



Here's a little more Janelle...

Because I have to watch it every 6 months: Many Moons.
(Go to youtube and watch in hi def!)
And when you're growing down instead of growing up
Tell me are you bold enough to reach for love?


Sincerely, Jane - This is exactly the kind of performance that got people kicked off American Idol this season. Consistently. I'm finally washing my hands of that show--it's great for finding country stars, but not pop or rock.
Are we really living
Or just walking dead now?
