Here I sit
Trying to comprehend
What is it
While all around
The right-side up is
Upside down
This irony
Is not lost on me
I can’t explain
God’s mystery

In this dream
I am one
With everything
But separation
Bangs a
Dissonant drum
It rings and chimes
Echoes in my mind
This noise
I can’t avoid
Zen and the art of
Being a human
Zen and the art of
Being a human
Zen and the art of
Being a human

We are not apart
Close your eyes
And breathe
Visualize your heart
Glowing

Love and hate
Like rain and a
Sunshiny day
Suffering and bliss
Yes, I am all
Of this
A smile, a frown, a
Monster and a clown
This paradox
It is God’s box
Zen and the art of
Being a human
Zen and the art of
Being a human
Zen and the art of
Being a human being

It’s the art of being…

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
