A Thought for Today
Joy is contagious, spread a little of it every chance you get.
FROM the¨BOOKS
SOME TRAVELING MUSIC
How can you say something new
about being alone?
Tell somebody you're a loner
and right away they think you're lonely.
It's not the same thing, you know.
It's not wanting to put
all your marbles in one pocket.
It's caring enough
not to care too much.
Mostly,
it's letting yourself
come first for awhile.
One day I'll find an island,
a think place
go there with a mess of records
and a ukelele
and just sit strummin'.
I might even do some thinkin',
about the women
and the towns I've left behind.
-written
for the Frank Sinatra album "A Man Alone", 1968
