Imagination is Medicine
Life is a Total Thing by Krishnamurti
“Death must be something extraordinary, as life is. Life is a total thing. Sorrow, pain, anguish, joy, absurd ideas, possession, envy, love, the aching misery of loneliness — all that is life. And to understand death, we must understand the whole life, not take just one fragment of it and live with that fragment, as most of us do. In the very understanding of life there is the understanding of death, because the two are not separate.

Magnificent by Elbow
This is where, this is where the bottle lands
Where all the biggest questions meet
With little feet stood in the sand
This is where the echoes swell to nothing on the tide
And where a tiny pair of hands
Finds a sea-worn piece of glass
And sets it as a sapphire in her mind
And there she stands
Throwing both her arms around the world
The world that doesn’t even know
How much it needs this little girl
It’s all gonna be magnificent, she says
It’s all gonna be magnificent
This is where it all began
To light your mother’s cigarette
And I got to touch her hand
And my heart, there defrosting in a gaze
Wasn’t built to beat that way
Suddenly I understand
There on the sand
Throwing both her arms around the world
The world that doesn’t even know
How much it needs this little girl
It’s all gonna be magnificent, she says
It’s all gonna be magnificent
It’s all gonna be magnificent, she says
It’s all gonna be magnificent
The echoes slow, the bottle lands
The echoes slow, and there she stands
