"Love You More," Trespassers William

"All of my songs are for you, all of my songs are sad. Whenever you wake at night, you say that all of your dreams are bad... Give me your tightest arm, give me an 'I love you,' I'll stay awake all night and blow your darker thoughts far from you."

Sound advice from Mark Twain

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than the ones you did do. So throw off the bowliness. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

-Mark Twain

Exerpt from Sea Glass

"What do you dream about, Quillen McDermott?"
The question is so unexpected and so direct that for a moment McDermott cannot answer.
"No fair thinking about it," she says. "You have to answer right away."
"Whose rules are these?" he asks, stalling for time.
"My rules, of course." She smiles, crinkling the few wrinkles at the sides of her eyes.
"Don't remember my dreams," he says.
"I don't believe you."
"Why not?"
"I think you're a deep one."

-Sea Glass, by Anita Shreve

To Dreamers Everywhere

To Dreamers Everywhere



And if your own and time betray you


If all you hoped and wrought for does


not come,


Why should that dismay you?


Why should creeping doubt benumb


The leaping pulses of your will?


Have patience and be strong.


Seems your waiting long?


One has waited longer, who is waiting


still.


-Amelia Josephine Burr.

Dedication from The Passage

The dedication from Justin Cronin's 2010 novel, The Passage, is simple. It reads "For my children. No bad dreams."

Jealous Guy

"I was dreaming of the past... and my heart was beating fast... I began to lose control. I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm sorry that I made you cry... I'm just a jealous guy." 

One of John Lennon's most famous solo songs, it was the first that I recognized as his own as a young girl. The melody and supportive bass bring tears to my eyes, and the lyrics weigh heavily on the soul. A beautiful, complete work of art in all ways, please listen to John Lennon's "Jealous Guy," here with footage from John's life.
