Some thoughts on the song.
Edited on Wed Dec-01-10 03:11 AM by RandomThoughts
There are many ways to see things. However what I remember from his song is


"A Good Day", 13th Warrior.
"A Bad Day, Lying in bed thinking of what might have been",

from Shakespeare, and William Wallace speech also.




Simon & Garfunkel - Slip Sliding Away

1. 13th Warrior
Edited on Wed Dec-01-10 04:41 AM by RandomThoughts
"Lo there do I see my father, Lo there do I see my mother and my sisters and my brothers, Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the beginning, Lo they do call to me, they bid me take my place among them, in the Halls of Valhalla, where the brave may live forever."

13th Warrior

Those that think that is about 'race' or 'genetic lines' Why would you think that a biological act of reproduction would define what a person is, might not your father, mother, sisters, and brothers, also be the spirit of what you learn and believe, how you choose to think and feel.

Is really the genetics of who you are the determiner of things, or is who you choose to be, what you think and feel in your spirit, might that be what family lines are?


If you think that is about genetics, then why do you think that?

Or more simply, do you think the 13th warrior was their brother also?


But for those that believe in Noble Lines.
If you really want to think it is about genetics, think on this a bit, the nobles of the house lines, and their actions abdicated the respect of their ancestors, and minor nobles that did not take part in their choice of actions were next in line and moved up by line of succession. So if you think you are special by genetic lines, and make the genetic argument you are still in worse shape. So even with the genetic argument, it is not about genetic lines.

That is the meaning of Karl Rove by the camera, and many of the royals wiped out, in the King Ralph trailer, if you believe in genetic lines. I don't think in terms of genetic lines, but there is no argument if you do.

3. I have a personal wow moment, I would like to share.
Edited on Wed Dec-01-10 08:36 AM by RandomThoughts
In all the years since injustice occurred, all those years of trying to figure how things can be corrected, I never once thought about possibilities if I had made different choices.

I never noticed that before, but I have never questioned the decisions made, only have thought of correcting the injustices they showed. And being in a society with such things being corrected. I thought long on if the actions done to me could be thought of as just or unjust, compassionate or non compassionate, but not on the choice of my actions, they were so clear and obvious.

Thanks alot for that musical post, that is a really special thought.


And as posted years ago, it was a good day, that is why it makes so much sense why there are not regrets.


Back to listening to music and thinking on things, so much to do, so much to feel.
