secret o' life

Posted on Nov 1st, 2006 by Karuna : friend Karuna


The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time

Any fool can do it

There ain't nothing to it

Nobody knows how we got to

The top of the hill

But since we're on our way down

We might as well enjoy the ride



The secret of love is in opening up your heart

It's okay to feel afraid

But don't let that stand in your way

'cause anyone knows that love is the only road

And since we' re only here for a while

Might as well show some style

Give us a smile



Isn't it a lovely ride

Sliding down

Gliding down

Try not to try too hard

It's just a lovely ride



Now the thing about time is that time

Isn't really real

It'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

Some kind of lovely ride

I'll be sliding down

I'll be gliding down

Try not to try too hard

It's just a lovely ride



Isn't it a lovely ride

Sliding down

Gliding down

Try not to try too hard

It's just a lovely ride



Now the secret of life is enjoying the passage of time




- James Taylor

Karuna,

As you mark the transition into another wonderful year of your life,

keep enjoying the passage of time and the lovely ride wherever it takes you!

Keep sliding down, gliding down and flying out there with open heart as you do!

Take Joy, Courage and Inspiration all along as you are,

D a r i n a :)
