There's Somethin Happenin Here, and What It Is Ain't Exactly Clear

'For What It's Worth' - Buffalo Springfield

I can't say that the following has any specific meaning toward current events, it is simply a quote that has stuck with me since hearing it. You may recognize it, you may not. If you do recognize it, you can't tell me that it wasn't perfect, for both what it specifically referring to and for many other things as well. For real current events, I will write soon about the Canada trip...good times had by all.

"Where does it come from, this quest? This need to solve life's mysteries when the simplest questions can never be answered. Why are we here? What is the soul? Why do we dream? Perhaps we'd be better off not looking at all. Not delving, not yearning. That's not human nature, not the human heart. That is not why we are here. Yet still we struggle to make a difference, to change the world, to dream of hope, never knowing for certain who we will meet along the way. Who among the world of strangers will hold our hand, touch our hearts, and share the pain of trying?"

"We dream of hope, we dream of change, of fire, of love, of death. And then it happens, the dream becomes real. And the answer to this quest, this need to solve life's mysteries finally shows itself, like the glowing light of the new dawn. So much struggle for meaning, for purpose, but in the end, we find it only in each other. Our shared experience of the fantastic....and the mundane. The simple human need to find a kindred, to connect, and to know in our heart that we are not alone."
