I was thinking about each of you today when I heard a song that happens to be my favorite from one of my all-time favorite artists. Daima, you're musical and lyrical, and you probably know this song and its writer well, coming from the musical world. Garden Knowm, you always remind us to keep the love in perspective. And Hamlet, you'll know why I'm also dedicating these lyrics to you.
Secret O' Life
The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time
Any fool can do it
There ainâ??t nothing to it
Nobody knows how we got to
The top of the hill
But since weâ??re on our way down
We might as well enjoy the ride
The secret of love is in opening up your heart
Itâ??s okay to feel afraid
But donâ??t let that stand in your way
â??Cause anyone knows that love is the only road
And since weâ??re only here for a while
Might as well show some style
Give us a smile
(This verse is the refrain)
Isnâ??t it a lovely ride
Sliding down
Gliding down
Try not to try too hard
Itâ??s just a lovely ride
Now the thing about time is that time
Isnâ??t really real
Itâ??s just your point of view
How does it feel for you
Einstein said he could never understand it all
Planets spinning through space
The smile upon your face
Welcome to the human race
If I knew how to link the song itself, I would. Everyone needs to hear James Taylor sing it at least once. Much love to each of you--and to everyone else these lyrics speak to.
