(Not that I always agree 100% of the time, but the times I take the advice offered or heed the warning sent forth, I’m grateful to have known that knowledge beforehand.)

Oh, I need to go float in a boat, or lie under a tree. Somewhere, where I can breathe in the good and breath out the bad.
Somewhere, where I can meditate for a long while and let myself concentrate on breathing in love, and breathing out hate, peace in lieu of war, faith instead of fear, truth verses lies.
