Help me now as I gather the wood.

I will die one day as we all must

Don’t weep too much for me

Life is everything and nothing

All at the same time

A life is but a moment

Just the blink of an eye

Don’t weep too much for me

I lived and loved

I gained and lost

I will die one day as we all must

Don’t weep too much for me

Don’t weep too much for me

James Lee Jobe

Speak not because it is safe, but because it is right.

Edward Snowden

Tom Waits - Chocolate Jesus

Perhaps we evolved this way

So that we could bury the dogs and cats

So that someone would be there

To shoot the horse that would only suffer

Life and death

Leave a certain amount of cleaning up

That must be done

And so we have minds that can reason

We have hands that can grasp a shovel

Or squeeze a trigger

Help me now as I gather the wood

The fire I am building needs to be very large

And very hot

James Lee Jobe

When bankers dine together, they discuss art. When artists dine together, they discuss money. 

Oscar Wilde

Those who are ill, may they be well.

Those are afraid, may they be well.

Those who are alone, may they be well.

Those without a home, may they be well.

James Lee Jobe

A flower falls, even though we love it; and a weed grows, even though we do not love it.
