In response to Greg’s desire to have open spaces and a simpler life (my desire) I submit to you an excerpt of Waylon Jennings Luckenbach, Texas (Back to the basics of love):
"So, baby, let's sell your diamond ring, buy some boots and faded jeans and go away. This coat and tie is chokin' me; In your high society you cry all day. We've been so busy keepin' up with the Jones' four car garage, and we're still buildin' on,maybe it's time, we got back to the basics of love."
Since moving to Hickville I have grown a new found love for the old classic country music and this song keeps reminding me of attaining jack squat but a simple life, slow paced and full of love.
Exposing Myself on a Regular Basis
“All this is flashy rhetoric about loving you. I never had a selfless thought since I was born. I am mercenary and self-seeking through and through: I want God, you, all friends, merely to serve my turn. Peace, re-assurance, pleasure, are the goals I seek, I cannot crawl one inch outside my proper skin: I talk of love -a scholar's parrot may talk Greek- But, self-imprisoned, always end where I begin." - C S Lewis
