Love Keeps Us Alive

Sunday, is warmer, more agreeable than was Saturday. The plans for today include adventuring into Chicago for a performance of The Tina Turner Musical at the Nederlander Theater. Tina Turner was a “force of Nature,” survivor of an physically destructive relationship with Ike, her husband- manager. She survived fame as well, with 11 Grammy Awards and three Grammy Hall of Fame awards,

Also I am eagerly pursuing a better understanding of the thought of Jacques Lacan. Lacan illuminates the scaffolding of self-formation, the structure surreptitiously supporting identity. What is real? Could it be that what I assign as “reality” is in fact, conjured up?

The Best

By Tina Turner

I call you when I need you
When my heart’s on fire
You come to me, come to me
Wild and wired

When you come to me
Give me everything I need

Give me a lifetime of promises
And a world of dreams
Speak the language of love
Like you know what it means

And it can’t be wrong
Take my heart and make it strong, baby

You’re simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I’ve ever met
I’m stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart
Baby, I would rather be dead

In your heart I see the start
Of every night and every day
In your eyes I get lost
I get washed away

Just as long as I’m here in your arms
I could be in no better place

Each time you leave me I start losing control
You’re walking away with my heart and my soul
I can feel you even when I’m alone
Oh, baby, don’t let go!

You’re the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I’ve ever met
I’m stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, no, no
Baby, I would rather be dead

You’re the best

You’re the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I’ve ever met
I’m stuck on your heart, baby
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, no, no
Baby, I would rather be dead
