Jimi Hendrix once said…. “I’m the one that’s got to die when it’s time for me to die, so let me live my life the way I want to.” ….
Bob Marley said….
“Who are you to judge the life I live?
I know I’m not perfect
-and I don’t live to be-
but before you start pointing fingers…
make sure you hands are clean!”
I love that quote…..
William W. Purkey… whose words on living should be followed…
“You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching,
Love like you’ll never be hurt,
Sing like there’s nobody listening,
And live like it’s heaven on earth.”
Dr Seuss said… “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”
The words of Shel Silverstein, “Where the Sidewalk Ends” are just too beautiful….
“There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.”
“When my soul does lie to sleep, may it be beside such beauty…” Bulldog’s quote….
