"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Satisfied.


Well, I've been up to the mountain,
I've walked down by the sea
I never questioned no one
And no one questioned me

My love was given freely
And oftimes was returned
I never came to borrow
I only came to learn

Sometimes it did get lonely
But it taught me how to cry
And laughter came too easy
For life to pass me by

I never had a dollar
That I didn't earn with pride
'Cause I had a million daydreams 
To keep me satisfied

So, will you gather daydreams?
Or will you gather wealth?
How can you find your fortune?
When you cannot find yourself?

Gordon Lightfoot, from “Sit Down Young Stranger”
