  Comfortably numb
  The Pink Floyd classic, but listen to the words!

It seems to me that habit is the key to complacency. Change something in your life to see a new perspective. Take a new route to work! Sit in a different place sometimes. We are comfortably numb!

Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?

Come on, now.
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.

Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts:
Can you show me where it hurts?


There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I can't explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.


Ok.
Just a little pinprick.
There'll be no more --Aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working. Good.
That'll keep you going for the show.
Come on it's time to go.


There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.

  Celtic Wisdom
  I came across a book on Celtic wisdom a few months ago. He died, I believe, in August 08.

There are 7 parts to this Youtube audio, to be found on the list on the right of the first one. Give it a chance, there are many challenging gems in it. (The screen IS blank)

He is a Catholic Irish visionary.

  The Invitation
  I can't believe it has taken me two years to get this poem onto this site.
