La douleur exquise

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

Can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

Can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to leave it all behind?

Can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you...

('The Blower's Daughter', by Damien Rice)

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us.

We ask ourselves 'who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?'

Actually, who are you not to be?

As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. (from: Marianne Williamson)
