integration of the disparate aspects of each of our own histories is complete….. something wonderful happens. Before that time, however, we chase, run in circles and regardless of the goodness of our actions, seldom do we feel “complete”. by Gary Powell
When the integration of the disparate aspects of each of our own histories is complete….. something wonderful happens. Before that time, however, we chase, run in circles and regardless of the goodness of our actions, seldom do we feel “complete”.
We chase, run in circles and regardless of the goodness of our actions, seldom do we feel “complete”.
We trip, stumble and run after beauty, as we each define it, trying to capture and hold it tightly… all the while claiming it “mine”. Beauty is illusive in this game and like a wild stallion is most magnificent when not named, penned, owned or branded. I don’t know what your job is, but mine is to fully understand and finally gaze from within the beauty that is me. In this ever so illusive place all my parts become one, whole and at once BEAUTIFUL.
Aristotle said, “All men by nature desire knowledge…” The relationship between knowledge, self-discovery and beauty are all intertwined in this very personal lyric.

Music and Lyrics by Gary Powell<\/i><\/p>\n
Verse 1<\/u>
\nWe think it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s cupped in goodness
\nIn someone else\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s care
\nIn doing and then doing more
\nWe try to get our share<\/p>\nWe want to hold it tightly
\nWith illusions we do flaunt
\nWe squeeze it just so often
\nThat it doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t leave for want<\/p>\nBridge 1<\/u>
\nWoops, there it goes run after
\nThis thing so hard to keep
\nBut keeping is our biggest game
\nSo it makes the chase complete<\/p>\nChorus<\/u>
\nComplete with frustrations
\nComplete with sacrifice
\nComplete with lusting after
\nSomeone else\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s lusting wife<\/p>\nComplete in resignation
\nComplete in facing strife
\nComplete in knowing there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s still time
\nTo completely lose our life<\/p>\nVerse 2<\/u>
\nThat\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the way it is with beauty
\nThat\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the way it is with us
\nToo bad we can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get together
\nToo bad we can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get enough<\/p>\nFor I trust that it still happens
\nEven when I lose my share
\nMaybe then I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll learn to see it
\nMaybe then I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll learn to dare<\/p>\nTo see it where no one is looking
\nTo see it in the master plan
\nThen to see it in the master
\nThat\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s really who I am
\nThat\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s really who I am<\/p>\n(Copyright 2005 Jesmax Music, BMI)<\/i><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":null,"protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[10,17],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.garypowell.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.garypowell.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.garypowell.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.garypowell.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.garypowell.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=84"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.garypowell.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.garypowell.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=84"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.garypowell.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=84"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.garypowell.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=84"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
