The Secret Of Life Is Enjoying The Passage Of Time

Time Quote Of The Day

"The Secret Of Life Is Enjoying The Passage Of Time."

–James Taylor

Secret O' Life by James Taylor

The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time

Any fool can do it

There ain't nothing to it

Nobody knows how we got to

The top of the hill

But since we're on our way down

We might as well enjoy the ride

The secret of love is in opening up your heart

It's okay to feel afraid

But don't let that stand in your way

'cause anyone knows that love is the only road

And since we're only here for a while

Might as well show some style

Give us a smile

Isn't it a lovely ride

Sliding down

Gliding down

Try not to try too hard

It's just a lovely ride

Now the thing about time is that time

Isn't really real

It's just your point of view

How does it feel for you

Einstein said he could never understand it all

Planets spinning through space

The smile upon your face

Welcome to the human race

Some kind of lovely ride

I'll be sliding down

I'll be gliding down

Try not to try too hard

It's just a lovely ride

Isn't it a lovely ride

Sliding down

Gliding down

Try not to try too hard

It's just a lovely ride

Now the secret of life is enjoying the passage of time

Young Jimi Hendrix

...The Greatest Guitarist In History...

Young Jimi Hendrix

For some reason I really, really like this image of Jimmy Hendrix playing guitar for Wilson Pickett. I imagine I like it because it is so unusual to see Jimmy Hendrix wearing a tuxedo...

I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing 1971 Coca Cola Commercial New Seekers

I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing1971 Coca Cola CommercialNew Seekers

Here is the original song by The Seekers named "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing", which was the basis for the Coca Cola commercial above. I remember this song from my childhood, and it is so spiritually uplifting. I think Coca Cola should bring back this commercial. It is so catchy and Deja Vu like....
