Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our mind.
Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy,
‘Cause none of them – a can – a stop – a the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it’s just a part of it:
We’ve got to fulfil de book.
Won’t you help to sing
Dese songs of freedom? -
‘Cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs -
All I ever had:
Redemption songs:
These songs of freedom,
Songs of freedom.
…Bob Marley

Maude, I love Bob Marley – almost as much as I love you! I really can’t tell you enough how proud I am of you.
And the beat goes on . . .
Is that a foot print I see?
o.O
Aw, cool . . . songs of freedom. And all I can do is sing songs of corporal punishment.
Freedom. Hell yeah, girlie….freedom
Gotta love Bob.
Man girl, that song reminds me of floating down a river in the hot summers here. Oh, those days were fun. Bob Marley, margaritas, wind in your hair, good friends.. oh yeah.
something so comforting about that song hmm? I’m not sure, but I think you have a story behind this.
people say slavery’s bad, but it’s the chains in our head that kill us in the end… that bob’s a smart guy.
amen, sister
one summer at band er no I mean sufi camp
we had this great class called the natural mystic and Bob was our focus. Let tell you for a 16 year old that was a fucking revolutionary moment for me when I saw that an adult got what I felt when I listened to Bob and other musicians. smooches darling!
I just love that song…one of my favorite lullabies for the kiddos and so much more….despite the Mars-Saturn stuff, which is hitting me in a much different way, and probably the Mercury even more so (gotta check my calendar for that) I hope that you’re getting turned inside out in some good ways too, even if its hard to see the forest for the trees.
yesyesyes….good luck with the move!
Rooooooooooxanne…
You don’t have to stay with mister uptight…
You’re too good for him, toss ‘im in the rubbish bin
He’s a cast awayayayayay….
I loved you since I knew you
I wouldn’t talk down to you
I have to tell you just how I feel
This guys a real loser
A self-defeating snoozer…
You can do so much better than him
It’s the only way…
Told you once I won’t tell you again
It’s a bad way…
Rooooooooooxanne…
You don’t have to settle for this in your life…
You can get out now, it’s not so scary how…
You can soar above and awayayayay…
(My apologies to Gordon and the boys…but damn it all, I just can’t stands to see a good woman brought low by a &#@*&#@*$@!)
All my heart, hear & whatever else you’d like,

Emancipation. It’s what I was trying to tell you the other day, and could not found the word.
I love that song, the idea of it.
That is the most beautiful song in the world. Lots of love to you. Wanna come be a California Plumber yet?

that song is so sad
good luck with your move.
how freeing and powerful.
Its easy to say emancipate yourself from mental slavery, brilliant words, but heh, just about the hardest thing in the world is to leave ways of thinking that we are accustomed to and move on.
I wish you the best of everything for the coming year.
