Vision is changing.
When the viewer or the viewed one
Is changed, the vision will change.
People and things shift places.
No vision has consistency.
Don’t decry anyone for his stand
Being contrary to his earlier one.

Faith indeed tells what the senses do not tell, but not the contrary of what they see. It is above them and not contrary to them.

So what we have tried to do in our later buildings is to try to be completely consistent, as a painter is consistent or as a sculptor is consistent. Architecture also must be very consistent.

Who's Better Than The One Who's Done It
Who's best to deliver and with an expected...
Consistency.
'Who's better than the one who has already done it? '
Who's best to deliver the better effect,
And...
With consistency?
'Who's better than the one who has already done it?
Who's better than the one who has already done it? '
The one who's done it?
'Yes.'
And with a proving of to admit.
The one who's don't it...
'Yes...
And with consistent prolificness.'
Who's best to remove any left regrets...
And with a doing of consistency?
'Well...
The one who's done it.
And with a proving of to admit.
The one who's don't it...
And with consistent prolificness.'
Who's best to leave several people pleased,
And with a proven consistency?
'Well...
Who's better than the one who's done it?
Well who's better than the one who's done it.'
Who's best to remove any left regrets?
'Well...
Who's better than the one who's done it? '
Who's best to leave several people pleased?
'Well...
Who's better than the one who's done it?
And still manages to leave them stunned.
Well...
Who's better than the one who's done it?
Well who's better than the one who's done it,
And still manages to leave them stunned.'
Who's best to remove any left regrets?
'Well who's better than the one who's done it.
Who's better than the one who's done it?
Well who's better than the one who's done it.
Who's better than the one who's done it? '

Contray To Normal
I'm on the inside
Looking out
I want to be free
Trapped in a world
With an absolute
No wavering
No possibilities
Just sameness
In a room with walls
When I want the sky
On the inside
Looking out
Yearning for
Something different
Something that's
Completely new
Some people go
Their whole life
Never curious
Never learning
I cannot stand those
Incurious people
Who are content
Being ignorant
Who have no qualms
About that
I want variety
I want anything
Contrary to the
'Considered' normal

Round about
Swerving and swirling like in search of en-route the passion of the lovers of life and nature. Do I really love life and nature? Some of this planets have dire need of nature and life but the contrary pursues their nature the observance of time that seem to wear them. The question of inhabitants that takes over the feelings and thoughts. Ingenious and genius that partake their passion want to fly with me we somewhere on earth?

The little may contrast with the great, in painting, but cannot be said to be contrary to it. Oppositions of colors contrast; but there are also colors contrary to each other, that is, which produce an ill effect because they shock the eye when brought very near it.
Mother Mary
People talkin' sound like dogs
Barkin' through the trees
Makin' no sense at all
Meanin' nothing to me
Mother Mary, quite contrary
I did not mean to
Let you go so quick
People talkin' crack me up
They have no clue
What it's like to be me
What it's like to lose you
Mother Mary, I grow weary
I did not mean to
Let you go so quick
People talkin' sound like dogs
Barkin' up the wrong tree
Take a good man down
And set the evil free
Mother Mary, quite contrary
I did not mean to
Let you go so quick

If you look at the themes that he struck from the minute he started running for president through today, there is a very high level of consistency, and there is a sense that he is who he is. Obama's governing is completely consistent with the way he campaigned and the themes on which he campaigned, the issues he highlighted, the vision he shared.

Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature. Never try to correct them. On the contrary: rationalize them, understand them thoroughly. After that, it will be possible for you to sublimate them.

Nature and Woman
Nature and woman
Both are weakness for man
One sheds tear
Another is made to bear
One is ready to offer
Another is ready to suffer
Both identical but different in approach
Noble thoughts for sacrifice as such
Nature is kind
So is the woman very much blind
Gives everything for slight pretext
Without thinking what will be next
Nature has everything in abundance
Women have character by chance
Both stand for giving away the pride
Come closer when wish to confide
Women are worth to be adored
So is the nature to be explored
One may dedicate for whole life
Another may bless for future life
So do we need to be grateful?
Think of wisely and remain faithful
Do nothing contrary to cause harm
When they both are ready to welcome
