“If the door frames aren't rattlin', it ain't loud enough.”
“The sign in the parking lot next to a mini cliff said, "Danger Falling Rocks," so I commented, "Who's this band, Danger Falling? If they rock, how come I've never heard of them or heard them?" They can't be better than Bette Midler, or my ducks would sing them during karaoke.”

“Mr. Cuddleswithbubbles just asked me if I could make a soapy duck soup that’s scented like a Boxcar Willie song, to capture that classic 1991 Branson nostalgia. I’ll try, but I’m not sure if I have that much cactus extract.”

“We leave so much in time behind us.
Old worlds, glasses full of whiskey & wine & memories. As children we dreamed of being, becoming. In this twilight we merely dream and sometimes wish for the magnificence of lost moments & days. How could it be that we once lived through these times and never realized that these were the sacred days of magic? Now all we have left are songs & photographs wherein our present being attempts to discover it's own rebirth.
Therefore, 'to be' is the only answer.”

“I will remember how you ignored me when I needed you the most. How you avoided my calls, my messages, my silence as if my pain was too heavy for you to notice. I won’t hold a grudge, but I will remember the emptiness your absence created because that’s when I learned who truly cares and who only stays when it’s easy. Some lessons don’t come with anger, they come with distance. And this one taught me never to expect presence from those who disappear when it matters most.”

“no one will be here to save you and no will be here to let you know, this is the world”
“People talk to me about how music hovers on the fringes of faith. And this is as ethereal as I get, but sometimes I'll play something, and I truly wonder how this music came out of me. I really do sit there with my hands on the keys, and I feel like something or someone else is guiding them.”
