overspills blind boundaries

Language and verbal skill,
Linear and lateral thinking
Come from one’s left brain.
And non-linear thinking
Come from one’s right brain.
The left understands a sentence.
The right interprets it.

Dancin In My Mind
Verse1:
Feelings carry away with me
Till I tremble no more
Music makes lovers of all of us
Out on the floor
Oh, I dont know you too well
And we dont have much time
But whenever you cross my mind
Chorus:
Well be dancin like we did that summer
When no boundaries kept us confined
Well be intimately dancin in my mind
Verse2:
I wish I had many lives
At least more than this one
Then I could deeply feel and learn
To love everyone
No, I just cant up and leave
Everything behind
But still you have touched my life
Chorus:
And Ill be dancin like we did that summer
When no boundaries kept us confined
Well be intimately dancin in my mind
You feel lovely
Youre just what I need right now
Do do doo da doo
Chorus:
Dancin like we did that summer
When no boundaries kept us confined
Well be intimately dancin in my mind

Homefires
Im not the same man
I was a while ago
Ive learned some new things,
I hope that it shows.
Im free to give my love,
But youre not the one Im thinking of,
So for me the wheels are turning
Got to keep the homefires burning.
Ill walk these borders
In search of a line,
Between young lovers
Who live separate lives.
How long can this go on?
I can hear another song,
Late at night when Ive been drinking
Substitute comes at me winking.
How long can this go on?
I can hear another song,
Late at night when Ive been drinking
Substitute comes at me winking.
Im not the same man
I was a while ago
Ive learned some new things,
I hope that it shows.
Im free to give my love,
But youre not the one Im thinking of.

Too Much On My Mind
Theres too much on my mind,
Theres too much on my mind,
And I cant sleep at night thinking about it.
Im thinking of the time,
Theres too much on my mind,
It seems theres more to life than just to live it.
Theres too much on my mind,
And there is nothing I can say.
Theres too much on my mind,
And there is nothing I can do
About it,
About it.
My thought just weigh me down,
And drag me to the ground,
And shake my head till theres no more life in me.
Its ruining my brain,
Ill never be the same,
My poor demented mind is slowly going.
Theres too much on my mind,
And there is nothing I can say.
Theres too much on my mind,
And there is nothing I can do
About it,
About it.
Theres too much on my mind.

Before Sleep
The lateral vibrations caress me,
They leap and caress me,
They work pathetically in my favour,
They seek my financial good.
She of the spear stands present.
The gods of the underworld attend me, O Annubis,
These are they of thy company.
With a pathetic solicitude they attend me;
Undulant,
Their realm is the lateral courses.
Light!
I am up to follow thee, Pallas.
Up and out of their caresses.
You were gone up as a rocket,
Bending your passages from right to left and from left to right
In the flat projection of a spiral.
The gods of drugged sleep attend me,
Wishing me well;
I am up to follow thee, Pallas.

The question of boundaries is a major question of the Jewish people because the Jews are the great experts of crossing boundaries. They have a sense of identity inside themselves that doesn't permit them to cross boundaries with other people.

Thoughts of nothing
There is no peace
Within ones mind
Every second
Comes an aggrovated thought
Thinking....Thinking....Thinking
No peace No solitude
Just thoughts of nothing
Thinking....Thinking....Thinking

Thinking Man's Blues
i was thinking about Jesus
i was thinking about robbing a bank
thinking about the band a playin'
while the Titanic sank
thinking 'bout salvation
thinking about getting free
thinking and a wondering
do you ever think about me?
i was thinking about generations
i was thinking about saving grace
i was thinking about truth and lies
thinking about flesh and lace
thinking about redemption
and rivers running to the sea
thinking and a wondering
do you ever think about me?
i was thinking about the Dharma
'bout Martin Luther King
thinking about Merle Haggard
thinking about James Dean
thinking about the costs of war
about moral depravity
thinking and a wondering
do you ever think about me?
thinking and a wondering
do you ever think about me?

You are a queen on the mars
My imagination's satellite
Goes all the way up there to discover
You are a queen on the mars
The sky with thousands of stars is winking at you
You are staring at the two moons of your red planet
Wondering if we were them
You are sitting lonely on a rock
And saying he loves me, he loves me not
Plucking petals of a lovely red rose
One by one
Now you are looking at the earth
The wonderful blue planet
And thinking; am I also thinking of you
Am I also missing you a lot?
On earth I am waiting for you eagerly
Looking at the sky for your UFO to come
And appear like the brightest star
And land on my land's beautiful greenery

Wishful Thinking
Fill up your mind with all it can know
Don't forget that your body will let it all go
Fill up your mind with all it can know
What would we be without wishful thinking
Chambers of chains
With red plastic mouths
The inside of outside
No one has found
How to unring the bell
It's just as well
The turntable sizzles
Casting the spells
The pressure devices
Hell in a nutshell
Is any song worth singing
If it doesn't help
Fill up your mind with all it can know
Don't forget that your body will let it all go
Fill up your mind with all it can know
'Cause what would love be without wishful thinking
Open your arms as far as they will go
We take off your dress
An embarrassing poem
Was written when I was alone
In love with you
I shook down those lines
To shine up the streets
I got up off my hands and knees
To thank my lucky stars that you're not me
What would we be without wishful thinking
What would we be without wishful thinking
What would we be without wishful thinking

I think we were just coming out and being ourselves, instead of operating within boundaries that other people had created. We decided to do away with those boundaries.

A Woman Stole My Girl With A Line
I’m lost for words to say
Thinking’s tongue tied
Riding the boundaries of despair
With no place to hide
A woman stole my girl with a line
A woman stole my girl with a line
A woman stole my girl with a line
What changed her mind
She gave me no hint I’m unfair
Not even a clue
Just a brief note she signed
With a thank you
A woman stole my girl with a line
A woman stole my girl with a line
A woman stole my girl with a line
What changed her mind
I don’t know what she’s hoping to find
And why she picked now to say goodbye
A woman stole my girl with a line
A woman stole my girl with a line
A woman stole my girl with a line
What changed her mind
I’m lost for words to say
Thinking’s tongue tied
Riding the boundaries of despair
With no place to hide
A woman stole my girl with a line
A woman stole my girl with a line
A woman stole my girl with a line
What changed her mind
I don’t know what she’s hoping to find
And why she picked now to say goodbye
She gave me no hint I’m unfair
Not even a clue
Just a brief note she signed
And thank you
A woman stole my girl with a line
A woman stole my girl with a line
A woman stole my girl with a line
What changed her mind

And this is one of the major questions of our lives: how we keep boundaries, what permission we have to cross boundaries, and how we do so.

All these boundaries - Africa, Asia, Malaysia, America - are set by men. But you don't have to look at boundaries when you are looking at a man - at the character of a man. The question is: What do you stand for? Are you a follower, or are you a leader?

Harmony and hatred.
Territories are physical boundaries.
Cultures are psychological boundaries.
Threatening of invasion is always there.
Harmony and hatred cannot be sterilized.

Tulsa Time
By danny flowers
Well, I left oklahoma
Driving in a pontiac,
Just about to lose my mind.
I was going to arizona,
Maybe on to california
Where people all live so fine.
My mother says Im crazy,
My baby calls me lazy,
But Im gonna show them all this time
cause you know I aint no fool and
i dont need no more damn schoolin.
I was born to just walk the line.
Living on tulsa time.
Living on tulsa time.
Gonna set my watch back to it
cause you know that Ive been through it.
Living on tulsa time.
So there I was in hollywood,
Thinking I was doing good,
Talking on the telephone line.
They dont want me in the movies
And nobody sings my songs;
My mama says my babys doing fine.
So then I started winking,
Then I started thinking
That I really had a flash this time.
That I had no bussiness leaving,
And nobody would be grieving;
You see Im on tulsa time.

I hope that youve been thinking about me
Chorus
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
Pick up the phone to call you
But I hung up cause Im so afraid
Afraid of rejection
Or another woman in your face
Hopin all day that you would call me
And that youre thinkin of me too
Well in my case with the game of love
If I played I would probably lose
Chorus
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
I hope that youre thinkin of me
And I pray every night you love me
I dont ever want what we have to end
And Ill always be your friend
Dont you feel me calling from afar
If you dont know Ive been there from the start
As sure as my name is what it is
Youll always have a place in my heart
Chorus
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
Ooh, ooh, ooh....
I hope that you have been thinking of me
The way that I have been thinking of you
When I pray every night
That its me in your dreams when your sleepin
I really hope that Im the that youre thinking about
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Chorus
I hope that you have been thinking of me too (I hope that, I hope that youve
Been thinkin)
The way that I have been thinking of you (all the time, cant get you off my
Mind baby)
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
See I hope that its you
And I hope that you are baby
Thinking of me too
Ooh, yeah, yeah...
See I hope that you are
Ooh, youre thinking of me
I need for you to think about me
Like I think about you baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
I hope that its you
And I hope that youre thinking of, thinking of, thinking of me too

Unwaking
I need not want to know for it,
a dirty mind of lateral conjugation;
of uncharted hopes. The name
splits the long story.
Everyone had a stain on chest,
color roiling the heart.
Dancing on the cocktail grass,
they started calling the moon by putting up long knives.
Unhearing the whistles in rooms of
lambs, the crosswords engaged the knot
of strongheads who had started
playing diplomacy.
Nothing changed the contours. The wind
was inheriting the scent of a rider, the
trees unheard off. Fastidious, my innocent
mind was looking at the highway.

Abaa Yaa
Abaa Yaa!
Your love is like the functional imporvement of my mind;
With values,
Pleasantness,
Understanding,
Pleasantries,
And, your spiritual directions will surely be crowed by nature.
From Mercy to Margret,
From Mary to Victoria,
From Dose to Kofi,
And like the muse of names bering changed every now then!
But, who is now on the new list?
Boundaries belongs to humility but,
True love has no boundaries!
And, i will live to love you always my sweet Abaa Yaa.
