EVERY ANGEL IS TERRIFYING

No Sugar Added

No Sugar Added

I am diabetic.  Finding no sugar added ice cream makes me happy.  The taste is perfect, with no sugar added.

I think these words by Herman Hesse make the point.

In every truth
the opposite is equally true.
For example, a truth
can only be expressed
and enveloped in words
if it is one-sided.
Everything that is thought
and expressed in words
is one-sided, only half the truth;
it all lacks totality, completeness,
unity.
***
This is a stone,
and within a certain length of time
it will perhaps be soil
and from the soil it will become plant
animal or man.
…….The stone is stone;
it is also animal,
God and Buddha.

—excerpt from Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse

And so does this song by INXS, Not Enough Time.

Not Enough Time

And I was lost for words
In your arms
Attempting to make sense
Of my aching heart
If I could just be
Everything and everyone to you
This life would just be so easy

Not enough time for all
That I want for you
Not enough time for every kiss
And every touch and all the nights
I wanna be inside you

We will make time stop
For the two of us
Make time stop
And listen for our sighs

Not enough time for all
That I want for you
Not enough time for every kiss
And every touch and all the nights
I wanna be inside you

In our fight against the end
Making love we are immortal
We are the last two left on earth
And I was lost for words
In your arms
Attempting to make sense of
My aching heart
If I could just be everything
And everyone to you

Not enough time for all
That I want for you
Not enough time for every kiss
Not enough time for all my love
Not enough time for every touch

Not enough time for all
That I want for you
Not enough time for every kiss
And every touch and all the nights
I wanna be inside you
