The Golden Rule – 23rd March 2024

When good and evil were formed
Hearts either chilled or warmed
So then every God had warned
To follow the golden rule

I will no longer subscribe
That my life is a tragic ride
Not a rose-tinted world I describe
Just a way of looking and seeing

So sound the bells and travel far
Drop a coin and pass the jar
It’s up to us to heal the scar
Tragedy is a choice

Today I’m feeling:

Rested and slow to get going. Two Utopian coffees are working their magic though I wish I could clear the phlegm out of my body and breathe clearly again.

Today I’m grateful for:

The Ruamittr ice cream in the freezer that Amy only told me about today!

The best thing about today was:

Clean (and new) sheets!

Something I learned today?

It was interesting to read an old interview with all the members of Rancid and to hear a wild story about an exhumed baby at Gilman Street!
