Kenny Loggins – The Diary Of My Perfection

Now, let me ask you a question …

Where are the dreams that you once had? This is the time to bring them back! What were the promises caught on the tip of your tongue? Do you forget or forgive? There’s a whole other life waiting to be lived when one day you’re brave enough to talk with conviction of the heart.

And down your streets I’ve walked alone as if my feet were not my own. Such is the path I chose … doors I have opened and closed. I’m tired of living this life … fooling myself … believing we’re right. Have you ever given love with any conviction of your heart?

How long must we all wait to change this world bound in chains that we live in? To know what it is to forgive and be forgiven?

Too many years of taking now. Isn’t it time to stop somehow? Air that’s too angry to breathe … water our children can’t drink. You’ve heard it hundreds of times … you say you’re aware … believe that you care … but do you care enough? Where’s your conviction of the heart?

Engraved portrait of Jean de La Fontaine above his quote about meeting destiny on the road taken to avoid it.

Whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you REALLY want something, it’s because that desire originated in the soul of The Universe. It’s your mission on Earth.

{Paulo Coelho … “The Alchemist“}

Now I have children of my own. They ask their mother, what will I be? Will I be handsome? Will I be rich? I tell them tenderly … Qué será, será. Whatever will be, will be. The future’s not ours to see.

{Doris Day … “Qué Será, Será“}

Some people when they hear a groove shake their head, ’cause they just can’t approve. Well, I turn up the music ’til it’s shakin the sky! There’s nights you wanna yell for help, but you can’t fly when you’re standing still! THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH RAISING SOME HELL!

{Kenny Loggins w/ Steve Perry}

Are you getting my drift here, people? There is nothing, and I mean NOTHING you can do to avoid your destiny. It was written in the stars EONS before your mommy met your daddy, and the blueprints for your journey were drawn and discussed in rooms you’ll never know about by powers that are above our mortal comprehension and pay grade:

If I’ve learned anything by now, it’s that the only semblance of “order” I can count on is … OH, that’s right … there isn’t one! So, I just let all the pieces show up in their perfect timing and let them fall in place.

{“F8“}

In the meantime, just keep rollin’ with all them punches and even raising a little hell while you’re duking it out with that ole devil! I mean, fight it, but DON’T FIGHT IT, ’cause it’s only ever gonna be what it’s gonna be and there ain’t nothin’ you can do about it. Just live by the Fourth Agreement, “Always Do Your Best,” and you’re gonna be alright! Actually, now that I think of it, just live by ALL the Agreements, as they will always only serve you well.

By the way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Kenny Loggins! Not only have I been rocking to your music for years, but you also share a birthday with one of my favorite “raise some hell while you’re fighting it” music alchemists of all, Ivan Moody! Gotta love it!
