Success?
The word for the day at Ragtag Daily Prompt is success
I don’t “hate” a lot of things in life. I did when I was younger until I eventually reached a point where I realized it took a lot of energy to hate. But “success” is a word I hate.
I used to have a friend (RIP 11 years now☹️) who would judge everyone and everything. We would sit and be miserable together and he’d say stuff like, “He’s had a lot of girlfriends, he’s really a success”, or “He’s really successful, he has a good job and a lot of money.” You get the idea. And of course the underlying idea behind everything is that he and I, by virtue of our not having the things that he defined as “success” in life, like girlfriends, or glamorous careers, or fancy cars, or big houses, or lots of children, were failures.
Worse, for me, was that his standards of success and failure, they all flew in the face of my hard-earned (and expensive) belief that we don’t judge our insides with other people’s outsides. And as it turned out, hard-earned doesn’t always mean easily kept so there I was crying in my pizza along with him, failure that I was.
Ok, I don’t totally hate the word success because it has some legitimate uses, but I hate using the word “success” to define a person’s place in life, or in contrast, to indirectly label, or imply, someone a failure. And I’m pretty much back to not judging my insides with other people’s outsides.
Kiss a little baby, give the world a smile
And if you take an inch, give ’em back a mile
‘Cause if you lie like a rug and you don’t give a damn
You’re never gonna be as happy as a clamhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clfb4UpwG74&list=RDclfb4UpwG74&start_radio=1

I just walked in from staring at my arbor oasis which is looking graveyard but for some aloe, a yucca, a snake plant and the next Jubilee flowering tall plants I just got. I heard the sweet sweet music coming from my iPad on Pandora. Just have to share a sweet melody of John Prine with Bonnie Raitt. Tracker trimmed off

““Old dogs care about you even when you make mistakes
God bless little children while they’re still too young to hate”
When he moved away I found my pen and copied down that line
‘Bout old dogs and children and watermelon wine.” -
Seen on my walk yesterday.
“I guess that love
Is like a Christmas card
Decorate a tree
Throw it in the yard”John Prine, All the Best

Ted Tocks Covers - Year 9 - Day 42
Fisherman’s Blues
Life is a journey by train and each song is like a station. Take time to explore. That’s where the magic happens.
“And on that fine and fateful day
I will take thee in my hands
I will ride on the train
I will be the fisherman
With light in my head
You in my arms”#TheWaterboys #MikeScott #SteveWickham #WHAuden #TheWonderStuff #GreatAuntIda #EmiliaClarke #Dawes #JohnPrine #NikoStratis

"That's How Every Empire Falls" John Prine
"A bitter wind blows through the country
A hard rain falls on the sea
If terror comes without a warning
There must be something we don't see
What fire begets this fire?
Like torches thrown into the straw
If no one asks, then no one answers
That's how every empire falls" -

JOHN PRINE
Bruised Orange
1978 Canada pressingThe world has been a much shittier place without John Prine.
I wanted one non-Christmas album to spin before bed on this Christmas Eve, and my favorite John Prine album will do just nicely, thank you.
John is another artist I have all of my uncles to thank for introducing me to as a kid.
THIS album in particular, too.
“Crooked Piece Of Time” and “That’s The Way The World Goes Round” were popular numbers on the lips of my mother’s brothers when I was a boy.
Side note: when I bought this used copy of Bruised Orange, there was a ticket stub for a John Prine show at The Royal Theatre in Victoria, B.C., Canada in 2005.
A nice little artifact to find in there.

Remembering #JohnPrine, 5 Years On
“The empathy in John, in his songs, was so immediately apparent. That’s one of the things that endeared him to me, and I think, to everyone else” -- #BonnieRaitt
