so shake the dust and take me with you when you do for none of this has ever been for me.
all that pushes and pulls, pushes and pulls for you.
so grab this world by its clothespins and shake it out again and again and jump on top and take it for a spin and when you hop off shake it again for this is yours.

I have a great quote to pass along from a Bauhaus song:
Wish your mornings will be brighter
Break the line, tear up rules
Make the most of a million times
Janis Joplin also has great quotes:
Don’t compromise yourself. You are all you’ve got.
If I hold back, I’m no good. I’m no good. I’d rather be good sometimes, than holding back all the time.
And there’s a quote I’ve loved for years not sure who said it:
Anyone that dares to be can never be weak
I’m shaken’ away!
I love Anis! I drink my cup of coffee in the morning, watch a video of his poetry readings, and I’m ready to move mountains.
