All I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be, I learned in kindergarten

Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sandpile at Sunday School.

These are the things that I learned:
Share everything
Play fair
Don't hit people
Put things back where you found them
Clean up your mess
Don't take things that aren't yours
Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody
Wash your hands before you eat Flush
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you
Live a balanced life; learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some
Take a nap every afternoon
When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together
Be aware of wonder
Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup ;
The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.
Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cup They all die So do we
And then remember the Dick and Jane books and the first word you learned the biggest word of all
LOOK
Everything you need to know is in there somewhere
The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation
Ecology and politics and equality and sane living
Take any one of those items and extrapolate it into sophisticated adult terms and apply it to your family life or work or your government or your world and it holds true and clear and firm

Think what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world - had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankies for a nap.

Or if all the governments had as a basic policy to always put things back where they found them and to clean up their own mess.

And it is still true, no matter how old you are... when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together

Jump...

There's only so much you can learn in one place
The more that I wait, the more time that I waste

I haven't got much time to waste, it's time to make my way
I'm not afraid of what I'll face, but I'm afraid to stay
I'm going down my own road and I can make it alone
I'll work and I'll fight, Till I find a place of my own

Are you ready to jump?
Get ready to jump
Don't ever look back, oh baby,
Yes, I'm ready to jump
Just take my hands
Get ready to jump

We learned our lesson from the start, my sisters and me
The only thing you can depend on is your family
And life's gonna drop you down like the limbs of a tree
It sways and it swings and it bends until it makes you see

Are you ready to jump?
Get ready to jump
Don't ever look back, oh baby
Yes, I'm ready to jump
Just take my hands
Get ready to, are you ready?

(Spoken:)
There's only so much you can learn in one place
The more that you wait, the more time that you waste

I'll work and I'll fight till I find a place of my own
It sways and it swings and it bends until you make it your own

I can make it alone(my sisters and me) (repeat 7x)

Are you ready to jump?
Get ready to jump
Don't ever look back, oh baby
Yes, I'm ready to jump
Just take my hands
Get ready to jump

Are you ready to jump?
Get ready to jump
Don't ever look back, oh baby
Yes, I'm ready to jump
Just take my hands
Get ready to, are you ready?

Supernatural

The supernatural is the natural not yet understood.

- Elbert Hubbard

Men has always seek for explanation to everything that surrounds him, whenever not able to accomplish, he would find a supernatural way to do it.

This was the dogma that leaded to religion, magic and other, and still persists, one cannot admit not to explain everything, so if it isn't possible by logics and experimental, we will do it by any other means, whatever it takes.

Where does religion go here? In the need to believe tat something or someone above us is able to explain everything!

I was educated in catholics and I still consider myself as one, although I question so many of its premises that I question if I can still count myself on it or I should go more for spiritual but not religious.Once I also had that need for explaining and understanding everything, but I almost ran crazy when thinking about the "end of the universe", yes, I did think about it for a long time and it was driving me mad.

If I'd go "straight" all the time long, what would I find? I mean, I know that there are other galaxies, and behind those, other stars, and other, and other... and then?!? where does it end? and if it does end, then what's after?!? A GOD would help here!

You see why we still need Supernatural...? or else, we do need to continue seeking... on and on...

Drown me in your light...

I've had battles with the devil
And it's left a scar or two
Why do i forget my troubles
Whenever I'm with you

Like an angel
Are you an angel
You have saved my heart
And you play your part
Like an angel to me

Yes i met you on my darkest day
When my world turned cold as ice
You lit my cigarette
And you took me away
It felt like paradise

Like an angel
A real angel
Drown me in your light
Take me through the night
You're an angel
I have fallen
From the dark above
Into the arms of love
You're an angel - to me

- Doro Like an Angel

Do you Love ME?

Didn't They Tell You The Way That It's Gonna Be
You Asked God For A Woman And Ended Up With Me
Maybe I'll Love You, Maybe I'll Pull You Apart
We Live In Darkness I've Pulled You Into My Friend
There's No Escaping This Hell That I've Put You In
You Must Forgive Me But Loving Me Is A Sin

Are You Ready For Me
Do You Love Me In Black
I Will Push You Away
Then Make You Come Back
I Can Make You Feel Love
I Can Be So Detached
Do You Really Want Me
Do You Love Me In Black

When I First Met You I Thought There Was A Mistake
How Could You Want Me, You Made Such Easy Prey
Didn't They Teach You Loving Is Nothing But Pain
What Do You See When You Look In My Eyes
A Sea Of Blue, A Place Where Your Heart Could Lie
Where It Could Drown, Where It Will Never Survive

Are You Ready For Me
Do You Love Me In Black
I Will Push You Away
Then Make You Come Back
I Can Make You Feel Love
I Can Be So Detached
Do You Really Want Me
Do You Love Me In Black

I Keep Reliving The Moment We Said Goodbye
You Didn't Kiss Me, You Didn't Even Try
You Said I Made Me Feel Like You Were Barely Alive
In Another Lifetime Maybe Another Place
Maybe I'll Find You, I Could Be Tempted By Fate
And Try To Reach With Too Little Kindness Too Late

Are You Ready For Me
Do You Love Me In Black
I Will Push You Away
Then Make You Come Back
I Can Make You Feel Love
I Can Be So Detached
Do You Really Want Me
Do You Love Me In Black

- Doro LOVE ME IN BLACK
