No mind is much employed upon the present recollection and anticipation fill up almost all our moments.

It Fill You Up
There's something going on
It fill you up, it fill you up, it fill you up now
There's something going on
It fill you up, it fill you up, it fill you up now
But you don't know what it is
But you don't know what it is
But you don't have to know
You just take it for what it is (spoken)
Within this melody
It fill you up, it fill you up, it fill you up now
There's more then you can see
It fill you up, it fill you up, it fill you up now
There's another realm
There's another world
With kings and queens
Yeah yeah
That's why you got to face the facts
That's why you gotta testify (suggested)
You gotta do and die (suggested)
It fill you up, it fill you up, it fill you up now
You got to do in that
It fill you up, it fill you up, it fill you up now
You got to sing with the music and groove
You got to turn on the music and groove

Work out a few kinks
It fill you up, it fill you up, it fill you up now
It fill you up to the brim Jim
It fill you up, it fill you up, it fill you up now
Lord have mercy
It fill you up, it fill you up, it fill you up now
It fill you up, it fill you up, it fill you up now
Come here baby
It fill you up, it fill you up, it fill you up now

Fill You Up
Ralph tresvant, ralph hawkins jr, paul minor, kevin guillaume & damian johnson
Ten oclock, in my ride
Drivin down the 95
Gettin to my babys house
Is all that I can think about
Champagne, moonlight
Its gonna be a lovers night
Anticipation is in the air
And all I want to do is share my love
Girl Im never gonna give you up
All I wanna do is fill you up (with love)
I can never get enough
All I wanna do is fill you up (with love)
Deep inside of me its building up
All I wanna do is fill you up (with love)
I can never ever get enough
All I wanna do is fill you up
All alone, cuddled up
Tv off, the musics soft
Fingers up and down my spine
And thats when things intensify
Kiss me here (kiss me)
Touch me there (touch me right there)
Your body turns me on I swear
Cant resist I want you much
Come here let me fill you up with love
Girl you know your
(always)
On my mind
(day & night)
Anytime
(that you need)
Some tender love
(Ill be there)
To fill you up with love

A Time Machine Mind!
Human mind, dreams, vision and imagination
Can transport one forward and backward in time.
Mind is the time machine to go to past and future
But time never goes backward but only forward;
Also, time never goes in circle but only straight!
Recollection of past is possible in the present;
Visualization of future is possible in the present;
But one cannot go to the past or future ever now!
Hour glass can show the time like clock of today
But it cannot bring back the past to reality now
Or bring to our vision the future of world now!
Mind is the time machine that can read history;
Mind is the same machine to see the future too;
But time never goes to the past but only to future!

Anticipation
Written by Wilfred C. Mellers 10/25/94
Hello girl, how you’ve been
I’ve waited so long for you
Anticipation is driving me crazy
Our love is long over due
The way you walk, the silly way you talk
I’m going out of my mind
Anticipation, I can’t wait no longer
All I want is you
Anticipation is driving me crazy
It’ burning up in my soul
Anticipation it makes me feel hazy
My heart is out of control
I hear your body calling for me
You know I want you too
Anticipation is driving me crazy
I want to get close to you
The clothes you wear, the way you comb your hair
I can’t help but stare
Can’t you see I’m yearning, yearning for you
And all things that you do
Girl I really love you
And I hope you love me too
Trust in me as I trust in you
Girl you for me, me for you
Anticipation is driving me crazy
It’ burning up in my soul
Anticipation it makes me feel hazy
My heart is out of control

My Canadian Chronicles 13
In each life, there are special moments
we like to remember and recall.
Moments that have brought us laughter
almost cascading into tears.
Moments of great happiness
to last us through the years.
Moments with very special people
who are dearly beloved friends.
Special moments no one can take away.
They happen but once
and are captured forever within our mind.
Special moments within our lifetime.

You & I
Oh, you and i
The time we spent together ends too soon
Like sun sets to the moon
So breath my beautiful
I often find that Ive been losing time
Cos what you said last night
That play upon my mind
Like thoughts of
Chorus:
You and i
You and i
It goes round my head like a carousel
And round and round my mind
You and i
You and i
I know what to do when Im not with you
I fill my mind with thoughts of
You and i
You and i
A simple need of love is what you bring
It plays on my hearts strings
Songs of love to be loved
Got me thinking of
Our moments that are gone but will not fade
And we live to be replayed
In my mind overtime
Like thoughts of
(chorus)
Well I know well make mistakes
But thats just the chance we take
I hope youll never say
Cos Ill never say
Goodbye
Say goodbye
To you and I (you and I)
You and I (you are always on my mind)
It goes round my head like a carousel
And round and round my mind
You and I (you are always on my mind)
You and I (youve just got to give me a try)
I know what to do when Im not with you
I fill my mind with thoughts of
You and i
You and i
You and i

Magic Moments
Magic moments happen in our lives
when we are kissed by an angel
under the moonlight.
A magic moment we cling on to,
just one of the many magic moments
our lives pass through.
The sweet scent of flowers that surround us
in the summer while love lingers in the air,
more magic moments there.
Magic moments that fill our lives with joy,
moments that rekindle love’s dying flame
making it burn strong again.

Remember what we are
Remember what we are
doesn't matter what we were
it is long way to spend here
Agony and pain only to bear
it is peaceful present
rest all can remain absent
that may spoil peace and calm
less gain and more harm
you may forget it once for all
still it may be stored in wall
it may surface and remind of old days
happy moments and nice ways
what can be retained and forgotten?
It remains intact without being stolen
It is treasure and may be preserved
The tradition has to be kept in mind and observed
Let even words does not sneak out
It may speak of other things and about
It must be always kept in mind
It is to be opened in leisure moments and find

The Broadcast
Were got a chance and well take it;
We may win or we may lose;
We may even have to cut and run for it.
Well, it wont be the first time Ive run
And it wont be the first time Ive been caught.
Its the game that matters.
Brother, I am proud to know you.
This is one of the greatest moments I have ever experienced.
I think I sense the situation when we can all esteem it, and honour,
To breathe the rather inferior atmosphere in this station
Here along with our little friend.
I guess we should all go home and treasure the memory of his face
As the whitest thing in our museum of recollection.
And, perhaps, this good woman will also go home
And wash the face of our little brother here.
Im inspired with a new faith in mankind.
Ladies and gentlemen, I wish to present to you
A sure enough saint only one a halo to be transferred.
Stand right on.

Anticipation
(carly simon)
We can never know about the days to come
But we think about them anyway
And I wonder if Im really with you now
Or just chasing after some finer day.
Anticipation, anticipation
Is making me late
Is keeping me waiting
And I tell you how easy it is to be with you
And how right your arms feel around me.
Bit I rehearsed those words just late last night
When I was thinking about how right tonight might be.
Anticipation, anticipation
Is making me late
Is keeping me waiting
And tomorrow we might not be together
Im no prophet, I dont know natures way
So Ill try to see into your eyes right now
And stay right here, cause these are the good old days.

Value of Patience
Addressing fresh aspects.
With anticipation I await.
Music I collect...
For reminiscing moments.
And my memories will not leave me soon.
The best of them I welcome to visit.
With all of them responsible...
For aiding my quest to become my best.
And that would have been impossible,
If I had not chosen to rest.
Deciding my life has more of it to adventure.
And tomorrow has never disappointed,
An exploring mind!
I find that to be true.
But I had to begin appreciating the value of patience.

It is not that the child lives in a world of imagination, but that the child within us survives and starts into life only at rare moments of recollection, which makes us believe, and it is not true, that, as children, we were imaginative?

Yes
dedicated in reverence
in purest esteem
a recollection of dedication
to an overt event
relived once again
in anticipation
'Running on empty, the sky is dark'
by the Big Blue Vase
is shaky town
passing by all those lives
fallen as a giant
long leaf pine
I'm cold, I'm cold, I'm cold
I can't shiver, so cold
Insanity tastes of identity
Rolling stone got no home

Present Compressed By Past and Future!
Once I was so enchanted,
So attracted and absorbed,
Beauty of flower made me
talk to it
I asked what is secret,
of its enchanting smile!
'O, friend', the flower talked to me,
I live in present,
no compression,
by past and future,
No depression of past memories,
No anticipation unborn future,
Busy in my own present,
Living in this instant,
No fear of harm,
no ffeeling of warm,
you look me as whole,
But, I have universe in me as a whole,
The universe works on its own,
Only I am witness for fate of my own!
No compression no depression,
Not even any absessi,
Bees affect me with their nature,
Yet no affective complexes in me!
I am born for some purpose,
Only animal magnetism run through bees and me!
I not get flattered either by your words,
Nor I feel pride or fear,
when bees fly at me,
neither lured by the music of bee's wings,
nor getting frustrated
with irritating bees!
I am born for my purpose,
And may or may not I complete them
my ambition are nil, inhibitions may kill my spirit,
Desirefree and libidofree attitude may be secret of my smile '!
Stunned by flowers reply I felt ashamed,
Man is one who lives not in present,
Because memories of past,
Anticipation of future,
Mistakes of the past and aspirations,
Makes past and future seem infinite,
compress present into an instant,
May be negligible and infinitesimal!

The Past
Oh! how sad the recollection! in the midst of joy it
springs;
What a train of faded pleasures that fond idea brings!
All those hours are gone for ever—they were sweet, but
pass'd away
Like the sunny clouds that vanish in the midst of dying
day.
I have number'd all the sorrows this tortured heart has
known;
I have counted each delight I would ever call my own;
But the moments are so woven, that the guiding clew is
gone,
And the sorrow and the pleasure blended into one.
That one—oh! when we parted, it was glittering in that
tear;
That one—'twas in the accents that told we both were
dear:
It dwelt in those fond glances, too fleet, too early past;
It lived in that embrace—the tenderest—the last!
The last! oh, in that word there are ages of despair!
No summer thought of brightness can dwell untroubled
there;
Yet my soul was in that moment so fraught with joy and
pain,
And ' tis only recollection can give back the soul again!
