I always wanted to be the kind of woman James Taylor would sing: I feel fine, anytime she’s around me now to. “Something in the Way She Moves.” You know that song.
Don’t you wish someone wanted to sing that song to you?

I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger

Highly (Highly) recommended. (On Netflix now)
An excerpt:
She had these ethnic features, coal-black hair, Italian olive skin, and when she was young, she wore that red lipstick that was very fashionable in the 50’s. And she’d be looking down at me with a look that, for me, was like the grace of Mary, you know? Made me understand for the first time, how good it feels to feel pride in somebody that you love, and who loves you back. She let that town know that we are handsome, responsible members of this shit-dog burgh, pulling our own individual weight doing what has to be done day after day. We have a place here that we have earned. And we have a reason to open our eyes at the break of each day and breathe in a life that’s steady and good. Now, my mom was truthfulness, consistency, good humor, professionalism, grace, kindness, optimism, civility, fairness, pride in yourself, responsibility, love, faith in your family, commitment, joy in your work, and a never-say-die thirst for living, for living and for life.
~ Bruce Springsteen, describing his Mother
and another…
Your life laying before you like a blank page. It’s the one thing I miss about getting older, I miss that beauty of that blank page. So much life in front of you. Its promise, its possibilities, its mysteries, its adventures.
That blank page…just laying there.
Daring you to write on it.
~ Bruce Springsteen, 69
