Oh this could be messy
But you don't seem to mind
Ooh don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime
We'll fast forward to a few years later
And no one knows except the both of us
And I have honored your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this
You're essentially an employee and I like you having to depend on me
You're kind of my protege and one day you'll say you learned all you know from me
I know you depend on me like a young thing would to a guardian
I know you sexualize me like a young thing would and I think I like it
[Chorus]
What part of our history's reinvented and under rug swept?
What part of your memory is selective and tends to forget?
What with this distance it seems so obvious?
Just make sure you don't tell on me especially to members of your family
We best keep this to ourselves and not tell any members of our inner posse
I wish I could tell the world 'cause you're such a pretty thing when you're done up properly
I might want to marry you one day if you watch that weight and keep your firm body
[Chorus: x2]
Happy Beltaine

The moon represents emotion and powerful instincts, patterns,
ancestral and karmic inheritances. For all moon signs it is recommended to
meditate with a bloodstone at the full moon to uncover hidden unfulfilled
desires that are controlling your life.
It is possible to reprogram patterns of behavior and facilitate
healthy sources of nurturing.

Yoga
The two forces of mind and prana maintain the
rhythm of life and consciousness. Everything in the universe is evolving.
Matter in its ultimate form is energy. The goal of yoga is to turn the body
into solid energy. – Hatha Yoga Pradipika
Namaste means “the divinity within me salutes
the divinity within you.”
Dhyana
To begin the practice of self-inquiry, sit
for meditation as usual. If you don't already have a regular practice, just sit
quietly and allow the mind to settle naturally. Don't attempt to focus your
mind or manipulate your experience, just rest as awareness itself.
After 10 or 15 minutes introduce the question
"Who am I?" Drop the question into the stillness of your being like a
pebble into a still forest pool. Let it send ripples through your meditation,
but don't attempt to figure it out!
When the pond is tranquil again, drop in
another pebble and see what happens. Set aside any conceptual answers, such as
"I am a child of God" or "I am consciousness" or "I am
a spiritual being of light," and come back to the question. Though true at
a certain level, these answers will not satisfy your hunger for spiritual
sustenance.
Instead of "Who am I?" you may
prefer asking, "Who is thinking this thought? Who is seeing through these
eyes right now?"
For the practice of self-inquiry to work its
magic, you must recognize at some level that the word I, though superficially
referring to the body and mind, actually points to something much deeper.
Let your inquiry be earnest but effortless,
without tension or anxiety. Here's a hint: You definitely won't find the answer
in the file folders of spiritual beliefs you've amassed over the years, so look
elsewhere, in your actual, present experience.
Eventually, the question "Who am
I?" reveals the answer, not as a thought or a particular experience but as
a vibrant, timeless presence that underlies and infuses every experience.

Growing Old
by Matthew Arnold
What is it to grow
old?
Is it to lose the glory of the form,
The lustre of the eye?
Is it for beauty to forego her wreath?
Yes, but not for this alone.
Is it to feel our strength
Not our bloom only, but our strength decay?
Is it to feel each limb
Grow stiffer, every function less exact,
Each nerve more weakly strung?
Yes, this, and more! but not,
Ah, 'tis not what in youth we dreamed 'twould be!
'Tis not to have our life
Mellowed and softened as with sunset-glow,
A golden day's decline!
'Tis not to see the world
As from a height, with rapt prophetic eyes,
And heart profoundly stirred;
And weep, and feel the fulness of the past,
The years that are no more!
It is to spend long days
And not once feel that we were ever young.
It is to add, immured
In the hot prison of the present, month
To month with weary pain.
It is to suffer this,
And feel but half, and feebly, what we feel:
Deep in our hidden heart
Festers the dull remembrance of a change,
But no emotion none.
It is last stage of all
When we are frozen up within, and quite
The phantom of ourselves,
To hear the world applaud the hollow ghost
Which blamed the living man.

Hands Clean
If it
weren't for your maturity none of this would have happened
If you weren't so wise beyond your years I would've been able to control myself
If it weren't for my attention you wouldn't have been successful and
If it weren't for me you would never have amounted to very much
[Chorus]
If you weren't so wise beyond your years I would've been able to control myself
If it weren't for my attention you wouldn't have been successful and
If it weren't for me you would never have amounted to very much
[Chorus]
Oh this could be messy
But you don't seem to mind
Ooh don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime
We'll fast forward to a few years later
And no one knows except the both of us
And I have honored your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this
You're essentially an employee and I like you having to depend on me
You're kind of my protege and one day you'll say you learned all you know from me
I know you depend on me like a young thing would to a guardian
I know you sexualize me like a young thing would and I think I like it
[Chorus]
What part of our history's reinvented and under rug swept?
What part of your memory is selective and tends to forget?
What with this distance it seems so obvious?
Just make sure you don't tell on me especially to members of your family
We best keep this to ourselves and not tell any members of our inner posse
I wish I could tell the world 'cause you're such a pretty thing when you're done up properly
I might want to marry you one day if you watch that weight and keep your firm body
[Chorus: x2]
