Found Words – Bill Simmons

Here’s an excerpt from Bill Simmons while writing about his book tour (excerpts from his actual book to follow in the coming days). :

“The bad news from our White House visit: We missed Obama by 15 minutes. The good news: We met Reggie Love, who has arguably replaced Charles Oakley as the world’s single coolest sidekick. I left a book behind for Obama and signed it like this: “DEAR POTUS, PLEASE DON’T READ THIS UNTIL 2017.” Because, if he does, we’re all in trouble. It’s 700 pages. I’d rather he figured out healthcare first.”

“When all is said and done
Will we still feel pain inside?
Will the scars go away with night?
Try to smile for the morning light
It’s like the best dream to have
Where every thing is not so bad
Every tear is so alone
Like God himself is coming home to say

I, I can do anything
If you want me here
And I can fix any thing
If you let me near
Where are those secrets now
That you’re too scared to tell
I’d whisper them all aloud
So you can hear yourself

Green trees were the first sign
The deepest blue, the clearest sky
The silence came with the brightest eyes
And turned water into wine
The children ran to see
The parents stood in disbelief
And those who knew braced for the ride
The earth itself then came alive to say

I, I can do anything
If you want me here
And I can fix anything
If you let me near
Where are those secrets now
That you’re too scared to tell
I whisper them all aloud
So you can hear yourself

I’m sorry I have to say it but you look like you’re sad
Your smile is gone; I’ve noticed it bad
The cure is if you let in just a little more love
I promise you this, a little’s enough”

-A Little’s Enough

“I’m awake to see with my heart
The light that floods the night in Cusco
I’m awake to see with my hands
The faces that save
I know I love you
They are truth
They are love
They are God
And I am at their feet
Forever
Forever I am changed”

-Night in Cusco

Then King David went in and sat before the LORD, and he said: “Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far?

I think politicians think about doing this (PG-13) more often than they let on.

One academic writing on why my life is miserable…er, where the literature on associations is:

Elements for a comprehensive theory of associations lie scattered across diverse disciplines, including sociology, political science, business, organizational analysis, social work, labor economics, recreation and leisure, and law.
