My Philosophy Statement: This world, this life, is a gift. We as human beings must learn to put aside our selfish desires and become selfless. We must always see the beauty in simplicity, among other things. We must live with **LOVE.** We need to learn to live life to the fullest, find joy in the little things, and always look on the bright side, because there is not a person on this planet that has absolutely nothing. The human race must become at peace with themselves and each other, and learn to live in harmony.



Live  life with compassion  They can’t hate you when you’re smiling There is a kind of wonder and imagination in the thought  of a gentle face and a soul more  white <span style="color: black; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 18pt; text-align: center;">And I would like to call it beauty.

<span style="color: #ffc000; font-family: 'Giddyup Std','serif'; font-size: 20pt; line-height: 115%;">Sunshine makes us look <span style="color: #ffc000; font-family: 'Giddyup Std','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">prettier; <span style="color: aqua; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt;">There are only the great diamonds

<span style="color: #060699; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt;">and sapphires <span style="color: green; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt;">and emerald mists <span style="color: #5f497a; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt;">and velvet inks <span style="color: #5f497a; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt;">of space. <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt;">Live like your buried soul has been <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt;">brought <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt;">back <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt;">to life.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">On the days he's <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 18pt;">" <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">there <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 18pt;">" <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> to her, <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">she's tricking herself into <span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 18pt;">believing <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> he'll stay <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">He makes her happy, <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> whether he knows it or not <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16pt;">They <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> danced into tomorrow on bleeding feet

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; text-align: right;">Time slows down whenever you're around

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; text-align: right;">But can you feel the magic in the air?

**<span style="color: #cc0099; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16pt;">You're so beautiful. **

We speak the greatest delight when the mind is open to influence; Make no expense but to do   good to others or yourself Desire to gain knowledge and improve in virtue.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">The stars awaken a certain reverence: Always present, always inaccessable. ** Who ** are we? ** Where ** are we going? ** What ** do we fear?

It must be fun to have nothing to do but rock and rock and rock.

When I <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">grow up , I'll dig the same things that turn me on as a kid, I'll take your hand and ** promise ** you, dear I'll love you until the end.

I am praying for the day when <span style="color: #948a54; font-family: Chiller; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">He who in the love of war (what's it for?) and <span style="color: #ff0066; font-family: 'French Script MT'; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">she who in the love of gladness ( and a smile ) will find ** harmony **

<span style="color: #92d050; display: block; font-family: 'Harlow Solid Italic'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: center;">When You and I and He and She are ** WE. **

Singing sweet songs Of melodies ** pure ** and **true**, This is my message to you :

**Life** is God's // **most precious gift.** // dream as you'll live forever I'm looking up   **to take a chance** and Dance, dance, dance the night away.
