Lyrics - The Man - Aloe Blacc
Well, you can tell everybody
Yeah you can tell everybody
Go ahead and tell everybody
I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man
Yes I am (x3)
I'm the man (x3)
I believe every lie that I ever told
Paid for every heart that I ever stole
Played my cards and I didn't fold
Well it ain't that hard when you got soul
(This is my world)
Somewhere I heard that life is a test
I've been through the worst, but I still give my best
God made my mold different from the rest
Then he broke that mold so I know I'm blessed
(This is my world)
Stand up now and face the sun
Won't hide my tail or turn and run
It's time to do what must be done
And be a king when kingdom comes
Well, you can tell everybody
Yeah you can tell everybody
Go ahead and tell everybody
I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man
Well, you can tell everybody
Yeah you can tell everybody
Go ahead and tell everybody
I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man
Yes I am (x3)
I'm the man (x3)
I got all the answers to your questions
I'll be the teacher you can be the lesson
I'll be the preacher be the confession
I'll be the quick relief to all your stressing
It's a thin line between love and hate
Is you really real or is you really fake?
I'm a soldier standing on my feet
No surrender and I won't retreat
(This is my world)
Stand up now and face the sun
Won't hide my tail or turn and run
It's time to do what must be done
And be a king when kingdom comes
Well, you can tell everybody
Yeah you can tell everybody
Go ahead and tell everybody
I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man
Well, you can tell everybody
Yeah you can tell everybody
Go ahead and tell everybody
I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man
Yes I am (x3)
I'm the man (x3)
I'm the man
Go ahead and tell everybody
What I'm saying y'all
I'm the man
Go ahead and tell everybody
What I'm saying y'all
CHORUS
Well, you can tell everybody
Yeah you can tell everybody
Go ahead and tell everybody
I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man
Well, you can tell everybody
Yeah you can tell everybody
Go ahead and tell everybody
I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man
Yes I am (x3)

John Doe"
(feat. Priscilla Renea)
(feat. Priscilla Renea)
[Intro — Priscilla Renea:]
Seems like your heart stops working
The minute they close the curtain
You take off your mask
And take off your costume
And if anyone asks you're taking a small break
Drinking some coffee
But everyone knows what you're doing
Seems like the bus moves slower
Just cause you got somewhere to go
So you take a few pills in Beverly Hills
But if anyone asks you've got a prescription
You got an addiction
Who do you think that you're fooling?
[Hook — Priscilla Renea:]
John Doe, I just want the John I know
Once you put the drinks on hold
Maybe you could come back home
John Doe, ooh oh oh oooh
Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh
Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh
[Verse 1 — B.o.B:]
Everybody's addicted to something
Everybody's got to grip onto something
Even if it's just to feel the response of a pill
Maybe once, maybe twice
Maybe hundreds of times, hundreds of times
Without it, it's just harder to function at times
You race to the bottom of every single bottle
As if there was someone or something to find
You struggle in your mind
And you tell yourself lie after lie
'Til you get to the point where it's no longer private
People that you work with noticed the signs
When you walk in the room
It gets noticeably quiet
So you break up the silence, you say you've been at the gym
But the way that you look, can't blame on a diet
So what you hiding?
[Hook]
[Verse 2 — B.o.B:]
Yeah, I've probably had too many things
Smashed too many freaks
Had too much to dro...(I mean)
Had too much to drink
Left the club, ended up in custody
Random drug test, passed it luckily
My girl broke up with me cause she walked in suddenly
With a woman up under me
I told her, "Wait!
It ain't what it look like!
I must've slipped and fell, clumsy me!"
Well, at least I admit it, cause the worst you could do
Is to do it and not be man enough to say that you did it
That's just how you prevent it, well I ain't no different
I love all the money, the fame
And the parties with beautiful women
I spent so much time as an underground artist
Cause I was afraid to succumb to the business
And what I'd become
But that what you judge you become
The path with the greatest resistance
That's how the tables can turn, when they pivot
And change your perspective and flip your entire position
My whole life I've been dying and wishing to live and experience
Everything possible
When I told them my dreams, they just said it ain't logical
Now, I can see it - it's optical
Seems like your heart stops working
The minute they close the curtain
You take off your mask
And take off your costume
And if anyone asks you're taking a small break
Drinking some coffee
But everyone knows what you're doing
Seems like the bus moves slower
Just cause you got somewhere to go
So you take a few pills in Beverly Hills
But if anyone asks you've got a prescription
You got an addiction
Who do you think that you're fooling?

FAT FLUSH WATER
A Recipe For Fat Flush Water (It Literally Flushes Fat)
by Alanna Ketler.
You may have heard some of
the hype about “Fat Flush Water.” But how exactly does water flush fat
out of your system? Clearly, water is not some kind of magic diet
supplement. Your body needs enough water everyday to keep hydrated and
cleanse itself of unwanted materials. Fat deposits that form on the body
can be tough to break down and eliminate, but proper nutrition and
exercise can help greatly with this.
Fat is broken down when the body uses
its fat deposits to produce energy, the triglycerides in the fat cells
are removed. Then, these are broken down into fatty acids and glycerols
and are then absorbed into your muscle tissue and internal organs where
they are then broken down even further through various chemical
processes. If the products leftover from these chemical processes are
not used by the body as energy, they are then considered waste products
and need to be removed from the body. This is where the role of water
comes in.
The Role Of Water
Water is the vehicle used to remove
these waste products from the body. The leftover materials from the fat
breakdown are then filtered out of your organs by the water that you
drink. The water carries the waste to your bladder where it is then
expelled from your body through your urine! Our bodies truly are
amazing! It is important to drink enough water each day to keep you
hydrated and facilitate the breakdown and elimination of fat cells. Many
sources claim that you should be consuming around 8 glasses of water
per day, but this number can largely vary depending on your size, how
often you are exercising and even how hot it is outside. Try and keep
drinking water consistently throughout the day and consider water before
soda, fruit juices or other sugary drinks as these can actually
dehydrate your body even more. Often a lack of energy and even headaches
throughout the day are simply caused by mild dehydration. It is a good
idea to make a conscious effort to drink more water. A little extra is
definitely better than not enough!
The Fat Flush Water Recipe -And How It Works
2 Liters (64 oz.) Purified Water1 Tangerine, sectioned
1/2 Grapefruit, sliced
1 Cucumber, sliced
4 Peppermint or Spearmint Leaves
Ice, (made from purified water) optional
Mix in a pitcher before bed and drink
throughout the entire next day. Please consider using organic produce
for this, if it is unavailable to you, thoroughly wash the produce
before adding it to the water.
- The tangerine increases your sensitivity to insulin, stabilizes
blood sugar and because they are high in vitamin C, you increase the fat
burning during exercise
Tangerine increases your sensitivity to insulin, stabilizes blood sugar, and stimulates genes to burn fat. – See more at: http://rawforbeauty.com/blog/fat-flush-water.html#sthash.uB4BsHaw.dpuf
- The grapefruit will increase metabolic energy, burn fat and increase energy
- The cucumber helps you to feel more full, and acts is a natural diuretic which means less bloating and water retention
- The mint leaves aid in digestion
There you have it! Please be advised
that drinking water alone or even this recipe for the water provided
above is unlikely to burn fat on its own. This is considered a fat
flush, meaning that you will still need to do the exercise that is
required to break down the fat, so that it can then be eliminated by the
body. Proper nutrition also plays a huge role, its not about
restricting calories, but making sure to get enough calories for your
body from healthy, lean, whole foods. At the very least, this tasty
water recipe will give you some added nutrients throughout the day, and
help to ensure that you are drinking enough water.
Enjoy!

Excessive Alcohol Consumption
The Surprising Thing That's Killing One in 10 Adults
The good news is it's totally preventable.
Published: July 1, 2014 | By Kenny Thapoung
To find these estimates, scientists from the CDC analyzed data from the Alcohol-Related Disease Impact (ARDI) application for 2006 to 2010. The ARDI provides national and state counts of alcohol-attributable deaths and estimates how many years of your life are stripped away due to drinking.
Shockingly, there were approximately 88,000 deaths per year in that four-year time frame. Some of these were attributed to long-term health effects where alcohol was a factor (breast cancer, liver disease, and heart disease) while others were the result of alcohol-related incidents (violence, alcohol poisoning, and motor vehicle crashes). But here’s the real scary statistic: Overall, there were 2.5 million years of potential life lost each year.
Not to sound like a broken record, but we feel like this needs to be reiterated: Zero benefits are associated with excessive alcohol consumption. If these numbers weren’t enough, remember that the World Heath Organization recently reported that dangerous alcohol use was responsible for 3.3 million deaths worldwide in 2012. So it goes without saying that you should always imbibe responsibly. This means abiding by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism guidelines for moderate drinking (three or fewer drinks in one night), avoiding all forms of alcohol while pregnant, and never getting behind the wheel while intoxicated.

Re-think Drinking
Find weekly updates on drinking lifeskills on the page "Rethink-Drinking"
Actors Shia LaBeouf and Robin Williams both announced last week that they’re seeking treatment for alcoholism: LaBeouf as an outpatient following an outburst in a New York City theater and Williams in a rehab facility. A representative for Williams, 62, told People that the comedian is still sober—as he has been since a 2006 relapse—but wants to “focus on his continued commitment” to recovery.
Now, not everyone who drinks too much starts hitting strangers at a Broadway play like LaBeouf did. They could be having a more silent struggle like Williams. Regardless, alcohol problems are more common than you think. About 15% of people who drink go on to become alcohol dependent, says Carlton Erickson, PhD, director of the Addiction Science Research and Education Center at the University of Texas at Austin.
“Those who recognize the problem before they develop full-blown addiction have a greater chance they’ll be able to cut down and minimize the role alcohol plays in their life,” says John F. Kelly, PhD, director of the Recovery Research Institute at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
So how can you tell if you’re developing a problem? Not all the clues are the same for all people, but here are common signs you could be headed for trouble—and how to turn it around.
What to do about it: Figure out what triggers your desire to drink and try to avoid these people, places, and situations. This drinking analyzer card from the National Institutes of Health is a good place to start; the NIH also has a 4-week tracker to see how well you can stick to your limit. If you can’t avoid a trigger, keep a list of reasons not to drink nearby, as well as a list of trusted confidantes you can call.
What to do about it: Compare how much you drink with the limits for “low-risk” drinking, which, for women, is up to 3 drinks on any single day and no more than 7 drinks per week. The National Institutes of Health says that only about 2 in 100 people who drink within these limits have alcohol problems. But remember that “low risk” still doesn’t mean “no risk.” While alcoholism can derail your entire life, even smaller amounts of alcohol can raise the risk for pancreatic, liver, esophageal, and even breast cancer.
What to do about it: Instead of meeting for drinks, ask friends to do things that don’t involve alcohol, like meeting for coffee, taking a yoga class, going to the movies, or lacing up for a run.
What to do about it: Find other ways to handle stress such as breathing deeply, taking a walk, or logging a workout (hey, playing basketball helps President Obama unwind).
What to do about it: Confide in someone you trust. And get a reality check and personalized feedback on your drinking patterns with the Drinker’s Checkup, an online screening tool which also provides strategies on how to moderate your drinking.
What to do about it: A doctor’s remark is not only a sign but also the start of a solution. “It has been shown that when physicians are astute enough to find out more about a person’s drinking behavior, if they make a statement like ‘I think you’re drinking too much,’ patients tend to listen,” says Erickson.
What to do about it: Monitoring your intake can help you stop before you go too far. Just record the drink before you actually imbibe, which can help you slow down if necessary. You should include both the number of drinks and the size of each drink.

7 Subtle Signs You’re Drinking Too Much—and What to Do About It
By Amanda Gardner
Actors Shia LaBeouf and Robin Williams both announced last week that they’re seeking treatment for alcoholism: LaBeouf as an outpatient following an outburst in a New York City theater and Williams in a rehab facility. A representative for Williams, 62, told People that the comedian is still sober—as he has been since a 2006 relapse—but wants to “focus on his continued commitment” to recovery.
Now, not everyone who drinks too much starts hitting strangers at a Broadway play like LaBeouf did. They could be having a more silent struggle like Williams. Regardless, alcohol problems are more common than you think. About 15% of people who drink go on to become alcohol dependent, says Carlton Erickson, PhD, director of the Addiction Science Research and Education Center at the University of Texas at Austin.
“Those who recognize the problem before they develop full-blown addiction have a greater chance they’ll be able to cut down and minimize the role alcohol plays in their life,” says John F. Kelly, PhD, director of the Recovery Research Institute at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
So how can you tell if you’re developing a problem? Not all the clues are the same for all people, but here are common signs you could be headed for trouble—and how to turn it around.
You set limits…but can’t stick to them
If you always try to limit yourself to a certain number of drinks and fail every time, you could be struggling with alcohol. “If you find yourself repeatedly going over your self-defined limit, that’s a common early sign you’re losing control over your drinking,” says Kelly, who is also president of the American Psychology Association’s Society of Addiction Psychology.What to do about it: Figure out what triggers your desire to drink and try to avoid these people, places, and situations. This drinking analyzer card from the National Institutes of Health is a good place to start; the NIH also has a 4-week tracker to see how well you can stick to your limit. If you can’t avoid a trigger, keep a list of reasons not to drink nearby, as well as a list of trusted confidantes you can call.
Your friends comment on your drinking
One of the first signs your drinking is spiraling out of control is when friends or acquaintances express surprise about how much you’re drinking or how “well” you “handle” your alcohol. “People start to get feedback from [other] people long before they realize it themselves,” says Kelly. “That’s a sign.”What to do about it: Compare how much you drink with the limits for “low-risk” drinking, which, for women, is up to 3 drinks on any single day and no more than 7 drinks per week. The National Institutes of Health says that only about 2 in 100 people who drink within these limits have alcohol problems. But remember that “low risk” still doesn’t mean “no risk.” While alcoholism can derail your entire life, even smaller amounts of alcohol can raise the risk for pancreatic, liver, esophageal, and even breast cancer.
The majority of your plans involve alcohol
If drinking becomes the center of your social and home life, if you’re the one urging others to order another round, or if you find yourself cutting back on activities that you used to enjoy that don’t involve drinking, you could be in dangerous territory.What to do about it: Instead of meeting for drinks, ask friends to do things that don’t involve alcohol, like meeting for coffee, taking a yoga class, going to the movies, or lacing up for a run.
You reach for booze whenever you’re stressed
Everyone experiences stress, from a serious break-up to a biting comment from a colleague. Alcohol can give you some short-term relief from the upset but it can also backfire pretty quickly, leaving you with the stress of everyday life AND the stress of a drinking problem.What to do about it: Find other ways to handle stress such as breathing deeply, taking a walk, or logging a workout (hey, playing basketball helps President Obama unwind).
You worry about your own drinking
Your alcohol use could be problematic when your first thought in the morning is of how much you drank the night before. “You wake up concerned that you’ve broken your self-defined limit. You wake up thinking, ‘I didn’t stick to it’,” says Kelly. “The worry comes from the innermost part of yourself. That’s a sign of beginning of alcohol dependence.”What to do about it: Confide in someone you trust. And get a reality check and personalized feedback on your drinking patterns with the Drinker’s Checkup, an online screening tool which also provides strategies on how to moderate your drinking.
Your doctor says you’re drinking too much
Doctors’ visits often involve answering questions about your lifestyle, including how much alcohol you drink. If you’re honest and if your doctor comments that the amount seems excessive, you should pay attention.What to do about it: A doctor’s remark is not only a sign but also the start of a solution. “It has been shown that when physicians are astute enough to find out more about a person’s drinking behavior, if they make a statement like ‘I think you’re drinking too much,’ patients tend to listen,” says Erickson.
You frequently wake up with a hangover
Even a sometimes-drinker gets the occasional hangover but if it starts to happen more and more often, you could be headed for trouble. “If you’re waking up three to four times a week with a hangover, that’s indicative,” says Kelly. And if you can’t remember what happened when you were drinking or you have only a hazy recollection, that’s a not-so-subtle clue that your drinking is out of control.What to do about it: Monitoring your intake can help you stop before you go too far. Just record the drink before you actually imbibe, which can help you slow down if necessary. You should include both the number of drinks and the size of each drink.

Phil Jackson discusses his latest memoire, Eleven Rings: The Soul of Success.
Legendary NBA Coach Phil Jackson: The Zen Master – interview on Super-soul-sunday
Oprah goes one-on-one with NBA championship coach and best-selling author Phil Jackson to discuss his latest memoir, Eleven Rings: The Soul of Success. Phil opens up about his own spiritual awakening, "Zen" coaching style and legendary career.
Transcript of the conversation:
( excuse the errors due to realtime writing) to be edited later...)
"Phil Jackson – the world’s best basketball coach. He is called the Zen Master. He got a scholarship in basketball where he
started to experiment in different philosophies. He promoted players to play for something greater
than themselves.
His memoire is one of the New York best sellers. "The eleven Rings". It’s about leadership, entrepreneurship and
spirituality.
He grew up in a strict religious family. He wants to encourage people t build their confidence
from inside out i.e. their intuition rather than follow jobs, leadership etc by identify what they are brought
up and let it come out of you to be authentic and take courage.
He was brought up Pentecostal. His parents were both religious. They believed in the Holy Ghost. Most rock and roll music came from Pentecostal
church. His parents were strict and his
sisters could not wear lipsticks. Etc.
Sundays he wore suits.
He was bullied in school.
In the 60’s things started changed and basketball was his freedom. His parents wanted him to speak tongues. Where he had t seek and pray for long to
search your soul. To be open to the spirit. He kept
asking if he was pure enough t accept it.
He didn’t believe fully. His mum
went to his bed and sang to him but they could not dance as it was a sexual
awakening. It was not condoned, as was
seen that it could lead to other things.
When he grew he started to question everything
In college studied evolution and was opposed to his believes
and it was upsetting as what he believed in and had memorized scriptures in catechism. He changed major to psychology and religion
which were great classes. He starting the
He was a student t religion and opened ways to see a broader life. Hs
parents were opposed to Buddhism.
As his spirtuality evolved, he could see the spirituality in
basketball. Getting in the high
level. Incorporating other things, connecting
people spirits about incorporating other people in your things and heightens their
nature. It's not about religion.
In 11 rings he speaks about the spiritual nature of the
game. Most people don’t thing of the spiritual
nature of basketball. It is about
ability to incorporate other beings in your system. Some coaches are bound in winning others in
being seen on TV. What is amazing is when
young people work together and focus their whole self in the game, thinking of something
higher than themselves, that is the spirituality of the game.
What did he see when he got in contact with Chicago bulls? He saw a team searching for identify the magic
of Michael Jordan and wanting to be part of his life. What everyone thought was fun and exciting. He was given the head coach to organise the
players.
If a team has no love nothing else matters. It’s the most important ingredient. They were following something they didn’t know what it was. They had to sacrifice bond together and get cohesive. What you do to yourself in gesture of kindness, gentleness, honesty and love towards yourself you do to others. This was the key thing in their game. “NO MAN IS AN ISLAND” what you do comes back to you.
He asked Michael to stop being the scoring leaders as they
don’t win championships. I told Michael
he wanted to be the scoring leader. Michael
accepted the role as a great leader has to let other take over the leadership role. He was to manufacture Michael.
He knew he had to create a team. He approached it with Zen i.e. With mindfulness. You have to build a mental strength as well to
be able to come up. To focus and come up to one point of attention to be in
contact with one another in times of challenge.
As a mental strength e.g. take a
breath and rest yourself, recollect yourself through mindfulness when n
need. They practiced mindfulness. He trained his team to stay in stillness and
meditate. They held their hands shoulders up, upright not slouching. They introduced meditation in training camps
and wanted them to have a silence day. That that mastering the game from the inside.
They tried yoga etc but didn’t work. At Lakers they were also receptive to his
ideas. He put sprit into the game. He impacted it into the players and they got
it that some practiced in their lives.
There is a salary grip and everyone is trying to reach
it. There is pressure to exert in the
game. They have to forget all about
these (family, contract, and future, what happens next in life, unguaranteed) and
have to be in the moment of the game.
They are in anxiety most of the time if they would be humiliated in the
game. As he started as a player he was
able to empathize with the reality of the players. They feared humiliation. He himself was humiliated
with staying out of the game for a year.
This helped him to be able to relate with how the others were feeling and
going thru. Tell a story of your biggest
failure that turned to your asset. Sidelined,
and team going on and he sitting out helped him to have better understanding of
being a player and a good relationship with the coach and helped him to respond
the way he did today in his career.
Are compassion and competition in conflict?
Zen is a school of Buddhism that teaches mindfulness,
awareness and selflessness and quietness.
It can teach you to three key things:
Anyone can approach life with clarity, focus and calm.
Giving up control
Trusting in the moment and
Living with compassion
Three aspect of it above:
Giving up control –
He maintained control by giving up
control. Sit back and absorb.
When you try to control our mind, personalities is like trying
to control a sheep or cow in pasture it breaks thru the fences. Allow space to settle. Meditate instead. And focus and let it
go. You let it go through passing thru
the 2nd cloud in the sky cloud and let it pass out through your
mind. If you sit back and allow what is happened
happen now it is happening, it has happened, even misbehavior from kids and as
a couch. The energy source is there
feeding into. Sit back and use the mediation
and sit in the bench.
Trusting in the moment
We sit in traffic, don’t feel like your life will be
destroyed, stay still and enjoy the moment.
N tense moment in the game they go into the inner space of stillness.
Living in compassion
Love in Christianity. Compassion is the same in bud. It is the inner feeling of empathy, gong together
that we are together and wanting to be ones best and caring about the best in the
others best and hence brings out the best in others if you want the best in
yourself you want the best in others. Don’t
have to go to hate or destroy this guy Instead of thinking of trying to destroy
this guy that ultimately doesn’t work.
Who is God? – What is his definition of God?
"I am who I am"
As a child he went through worshipping and knew there was something
bigger than himself.
Spirituality and religion the difference is the doctrine
which is the teaching and spirituality is living in it.
Meditation is his prayer.
Favorite quote of affirmation: sustain my body mind and
soul. Always thankful as I receive.

their best.

SOOTHE-YOUR-SOUL-- WITH MY DAUGHTER'S CURRENT FAVOURITE SONG - By Clean Bandit - Rather Be (feat. Jess Glynne) (Official Video)
BE IN THE PRESENT MOMENT - THROUGH FAMILY & MUSIC
Family brings you all the joy you can find. My daughter Fiona Maingi, and son Carl Maingi never stops to amaze and delight me with their affection and love. I learn to love more and and more each day. I adore them. I pray for strength to express and give them more love than I get from them. What better purpose can there be in life if you learn to focus and purpose your life to loving your beings.
Son and I
Daughter with "Chelsie and Kimondio"

Rather Be"
(feat. Jess Glynne)
[Verse 1:]
We're a thousand miles from comfort, we have traveled land and sea
But as long as you are with me, there's no place I'd rather be
I would wait forever, exalted in the scene
As long as I am with you, my heart continues to beat
[Pre-Chorus:]
With every step we take, Kyoto to The Bay
Strolling so casually
We're different and the same, gave you another name
Switch up the batteries
[Chorus:]
If you gave me a chance I would take it
It's a shot in the dark but I'll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can't shame me
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be [3x]
[Verse 2:]
We staked out on a mission to find our inner peace
Make it everlasting so nothing's incomplete
It's easy being with you, sacred simplicity
As long as we're together, there's no place I'd rather be
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be
[Bridge:]
Hmmmmmmmmmm, hoooooooooo
Be [9x]
Yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be
We're a thousand miles from comfort, we have traveled land and sea
But as long as you are with me, there's no place I'd rather be
I would wait forever, exalted in the scene
As long as I am with you, my heart continues to beat
[Pre-Chorus:]
With every step we take, Kyoto to The Bay
Strolling so casually
We're different and the same, gave you another name
Switch up the batteries
[Chorus:]
If you gave me a chance I would take it
It's a shot in the dark but I'll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can't shame me
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be [3x]
[Verse 2:]
We staked out on a mission to find our inner peace
Make it everlasting so nothing's incomplete
It's easy being with you, sacred simplicity

Yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah, yeah, yeah

HOLY WEEK - EPHIPANY!
What can save a marriage from going downhill without any hope of coming back up again is mercy, understood in the biblical sense, that is, not just reciprocal forgiveness but spouses acting with “compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness and patience” (Col 3:12). Mercy adds agape to eros, it adds the love that gives of oneself and has compassion to the love of need and desire. God “takes pity” on human beings (see Ps 102:13). Shouldn’t a husband and wife, then, take pity on each other? And those of us who live in community, shouldn’t we take pity on one another instead of judging one another?, Homily, Good Friday, St Peters Basillica, 24/3/16
MERCY;Understood in scripture as not just reciprocal forgiveness but spouses acting with compassion, kindness, meekness & patience
