some of my thoughts and notes

Willing

This is my all-time favourite song of Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson.

About a year ago I woke up to this song playing from my flatmates room. And I can tell you, it hit me hard. We got to be willing.

I've come to believe that everything that manifests in my life is more or less exactly what I wanted. But not in the sense of what I wished for superficially but what I wished for deep down inside. What I needed. What necessity brought about. What I created through my actions.

The Rolling Stones also knew that when they sang that “You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you get what you need.”

By the way, you want to know how I got to know this song? Of course, how else, through the series Californication. It was, how else, the End Scene of Episode 1.
