There's a meadow in my perfect world Where wind dances the branches of a tree Casting leopard spots of light across the face of a pond The tree stands tall and grand and alone Shading the world beneath it. There will come a day when I rest against its spine. And look out over a valley where the sun warms, but never burns. I will watch leaves turn Green, then amber, then crimson Then no leaves at all. But the tree will not die. For in this place, winter never comes. It is here, in the cradle of all I hold dear, I guard every memory of you. And when I find myself frozen in the mud of the real far from your loving eyes, I will return to this place, close mine and take solace in the simple perfection of knowing you. - from Wind River featu ring Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen
What are you doing the rest of your life? North and south and east and west of your life I have only one request of your life That you spend it all with me All the seasons and the times of your days All the nickels and the dimes of your days Let the reasons and rhymes of your days All begin and end with me I want to see your face In every kind of light In fields of dawn And forests of the night And when you stand before the candles on a cake Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make Those tomorrow’s waiting deep in your eyes And the world of love you keep in your eyes I’ll awaken what’s asleep in your eyes It may take a kiss or two Through all of my life Summer, winter, spring and fall of my life All I ever will recall of my life Is all of my life with you -Music and lyrics by Alan Bergman / Marilyn Bergman / Michel Legrand
“Humans consider themselves unique, so they’ve rooted their whole theory of existence on their uniqueness. “One” is their unit of “measure” — but its not. All social systems we’ve put into place are a mere sketch: “one plus one equals two”, that’s all we’ve learned, but one plus one has never equaled two — there are in fact no numbers and no letters, we’ve codified our existence to bring it down to human size, to make it comprehensible, we’ve created a scale so we can forget its unfathomable scale…Time is the only true unit of measure, it gives proof to the existence of matter, without time, we don’t exist. “
