I Spy with my little i (eye)... Some thing that starts with an M

You make me want to reach up and out to you, right here right now.

"Moon River"
music by Henry Mancini, lyrics by Johnny Mercer
Moon River, wider than a mile, I'm crossing you in style some day. Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker, wherever you're going I'm going your way. Two drifters off to see the world. There's such a lot of world to see. We're after the same rainbow's end-- waiting 'round the bend, my huckleberry friend, Moon River and me.

Last time I checked this evening, You were one creamy, dreamy, hazy, crazy MOON... you were. It's the MOON! Am I right? Did I get it right? Is it the moon you spied with you're little eye? It is!! I got it!.. YEAH! I like the moon. I like to watch it grow every month. I like it especially when it is in full bloom, I mean full view from here... big, beautiful, undeniably delicious, uncommonly good, glorious & grand.

Goodnight ~

"Goodnight, you princes of Maine, you kings of New England" ~ Michael Caine, portraying a doctor at the St Cloud Orphanage in the late 90s film, Cider House Rules. So many sweet ways to say goodnight. I hope you go to sleep sweetly tonight.

Now, blessings light on him that first invented sleep! It covers a man all over, thoughts and all, like a cloak; it is meat for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, heat for the cold, and cold for the hot. It is the current coin that purchases all the pleasures of the world cheap, and the balance that sets the king and the shepherd, the fool and the wise man, even. ~Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote, 1605

"Seek Inspiration In Daily Affairs" ~ Dan Fogelberg

Dan Fogelberg's Heart Hotel's strikes a colossal chord with me in his masterful and seemingly simple performance in St. Louis (circa, early 90's).

The song was immediately on my musical radar in the 80's. This number is one of his many musical & poetic treasures that sounds fresher and more exuberant than ever. Dan and the boys playing with him in this performance hit it out of the ball park... in fact, although Dan Fogelberg has physically transitioned on, his music is alive and well and still inspires one to "seek inspiration in daily affairs" ~~~

Theo's Theology

Wordsmith, Theo Warner takes the listener and the viewer of this video for a joy ride as he crafts a brilliant bold piece of thoughtful analysis about such matters as Christianity, "ecclesiastical music" art, dance, poetry, the man of La Mancha... "to have quixotic qualities is to have the highest of human virtues". With attention to every detail in this YouTube video, even the font is fun and easy to read. The language used in this almost 11min. video is masterfully orchestrated. Idea's compliment and connect as beautifully as a fine jewelery box filled with exquisite gems and jewels. He laments about color, no color, photography, dimension, imagination & faith while challenging reality and fantasy, life experiences and "all the crap learned in high school". TW dissects Paul Simon's Kodachrome (The Book of Kodachrome) with the touch of a master surgeon. The commentary is accompanied by dreamy easy to take images. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmiYXaZjYSM
