   “Don’t Let It Bring You Down”
   Old man lying
   by the side of the road
   With the hummers rolling by,
   Blue moon sinking
   from the weight of the load
   And the buildings scrape the sky,
   Cold wind ripping
   down the alley at dawn
   And the morning paper flies,
   Dead man lying
   by the side of the road
   With the daylight in his eyes.
   Don’t let it bring you down
   [[PRETTY HARD NOT TO THESE DAYS]]
   It’s only castles burning,
   Find someone who’s turning
   [[Latin “to turn around” is root of our “conversation”–hold the space
   for the conversations, listen, then speak out: from conversari to associate with, frequentative of convertere to turn around]]e
   And you will come around.
   Blind man running
   through the light
   of the night
   With an answer in his hand,
   Come on down
   to the river of sight
   And you can really understand

   Here’s one of my favorite Neil Young tunes and just about the way I feel these days- :
   “I hear some people been talking me down.
   Bring up my name, pass it round.
   They don’t mention the happy times.
   They do their thing, I do mine.
   Ooh baby that ‘s hard to change
   I can’t tell them how to feel.
   Some get strong, some get strange.
   Sooner or later it all gets teal
   Walk on.”
