Eyes Water Body Want When you see a fish you don't think of its scales, do you? You think of its speed, its floating, flashing body seen through the water...

America will work if we're all in it together. It'll work when there's a shared sense of destiny. It can be done! - Jerry Brown
But I've got to think of myself as the luckiest guy. Robert Johnson only had one album's worth of work as his legacy. That's all that life allowed him. - David Bowie
