California Dreams

If you want to dream and live come with me
I’ll take you to a place so beautiful
We’ll both escape and go over there
If you don’t want to dream then you can stay here

Hollywood realizes your dreams in front of a green screen
We’ll see the sunset and forget about wars
Come to California with me my queen
You could think that the world is yours

You’ll see stars not in the sky, but in bars
Huge skyscrapers that are not buildings
You’ll forget about all your scars
Come to California with me girl

Record your own life story in a studio
You’ll meet some people that are so hooked on drugs
It has its disadvantages, but I liked it
Let’s realize our California dreams

And watching birds at the feeder.

“So I ran, fearing not where I’d go
When a flower grows wild
It can always survive
Wildflowers don’t care where they grow.”

The mountain spiny lizard is the cousin of the desert spiny, whose coloring blends more with the desert than the mountain forests.

A Secure Landing   1 comment

Brown Pelican Landing — HDR Image by kenne

“To put it still more plainly: the desire for security and the feeling of insecurity are the same thing.
To hold your breath is to lose your breath. A society based on the quest for security is nothing
but a breath-retention contest in which everyone is as taut as a drum and as purple as a beet.”

— from The Wisdom of Insecurity by Alan W. Watts
