RUNNING UP THAT HILL
#114 in my RECORD COLLECTION series.

When we do the COURAGE pose in intenSati, I always think of the cover of Kate Bush's RUNNING UP THAT HILL single.
Arms straight & strong, chest proud, kissing the bowstring before letting the arrow of intention go out into The World.
Courage makes your aim more true.
RUNNING UP THAT HILL was the first 12" I ever got. Where did I find it in Western North Carolina in the 80's? ROSES? SKY CITY?
Somehow, I got my hands on it. I knew about Kate Bush from Night Flight, the late night video show on the USA network (where I also learned about John Waters, Divine and Will Powers).
For hours, I would sit with the big bulky headphones, trying to decipher the message over those rolling LETS-STAY-TOGETHER beats. A message of Selfless Love. A message of Courage. A message that, to this day, is just above my head.
It will always be above my head, because as I grow older, the song grows deeper in meaning.

A TIME IN MY LIFE
#112 in my RECORD COLLECTION series.

most people go around
thinking they're free
believing its an
easy way to be
how many times
are we told
what to do
because its RIGHT, Child,
or WRONG for you?

in your youth
did you grow & achieve
or did you throw away
the things you couldn't believe?
do you run in guilt
& in fear
from all the things
you truly hold dear?

The Universal Prisoner
makes His own bars
The Universal Prisoner
has no need for stars
He can't climb
He can't grow
& worst of all
He doesn't know

do you share yourself
& love what's inside?
or do you run to the phony world
where most people hide?
are you honest like the lilies of the field you see?
hey, ask yourself: are you truly free?

- Harris & McCann, UNIVERSAL PRISONER
