Jewel - Ten



....................... "Ten"- The latest single from Jewel's album, SWEET AND WILD.....................................

You can lose what you're not thankful for,
I don't want that to happen to you and me,
 Better count my blessings...  
One, you still move me; 
Two, three, you send chills right through me; 
Four, you keep me wanted more; 
 Five, when I look into your eye; 
Six, you're my best friend; 
Seven, that will never end; 
 Eight, nine, I don't know why, 
but thank God it happens every-time; 
By the time I get to ten, 
I can see how blessed I've been.  
I'll chose you all over again...





Here's a .99 download link to this single, should you like it... and as a loyal Jewel fan for a strong decade now, one of her favorite books, Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, which inspired her rarely heard beautiful little ditty titled,



"1,000 Miles Away" 
A teasing excerpt: 

"The sun shines golden, and I feel like my car
a little run down, a little beat up, maybe just a little green
maybe it's my battery, maybe it's my starter,
maybe my heart's too weak"

Ode To Philosophy: A Dedication To The Entity

Ode To Philosophy: A Dedication to The Entity

by Alexandra Gulkin

 

Aristotle proposed that all things, any substance, exists in both matter and form, involving some form of unity that exists even without a physical location. This is the very principle which dictates the certainty of the existence of an entity, that matter and form are one and the same thing simultaneously.

As in:
I have 300 red bricks.
These bricks are substance.
By possessing these bricks, I possess the potentiality of a brick wall.
I build a wall out of my 300 red bricks. By doing so, I've turned potentiality into actuality.
