INNER PEACE---

I am passing this on to you because it definitely worked for me and we all could use more calm in our lives.

By following the simple advice I heard on a Dr. Phil show, I have finally found inner peace.

Dr. Phil proclaimed "The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you've started."

I looked around my house to see all the things I started and hadn't finished, so, before leaving this morning, I finished off a bottle of Merlot,

a bottle of White Zinfandel,

a bottle of Tanqueray,

a bottle of Bailey's,

a bottle of Kahlua,

a package of Oreos,

the remainder of both Prozac and Valium prescriptions,

some chocolate covered pretzels,

the rest of the cheesecake,

some saltines and a box of chocolates.

You have no idea how freaking good I feel.

1 cent on ebay - what a rip off.

Those bidding wars are way too crazy.

"I am guessing it was not Peart's philosophy that attracted you to RUSH ;-) "

As a matter of fact it was Neil's intellectual approach to writing lyrics and the bands proficiency with their instruments that drew me to RUSH! Who could ever not like passages such as "All this machinery making modern music can still be open hearted not so coldly charted it's really just a question of your honesty” Or "You can choose from phantom fears or kindness that can kill, I will choose a path that’s clear I will choose free will” Cutting my metaphysical teeth on this at such a tender age ingrained a spirit of positive thinking and nurtured a lifestyle of self actualization.

Another passage from Neil is "There is unrest in the forest there is trouble with the trees for the maples want more sunlight but oaks ignore there pleas."

Or

"A simple kind of mirror to reflect upon our own, all the busy little creatures chasing out their destinies. Living in their pools they soon forget about the seas."

Or my personal favorite.

"Some will sell their dreams for small desires, lose the race to rats, get caught in ticking traps and start to dream of somewhere to relax their restless flight. Somewhere out of a memory, a lighted street on a quiet night."

When my wife and I lost a child, it was Neil's

And if the music stops
there's only the sound of the rain
All the hope and glory
All the sacrifice in vain
If love remains
Though everything is lost
We will pay the price,
But we will not count the cost

BRAVADO, 1991

Through countless growing pains and personal triumphs RUSH has been there for thirty years.

Namm Man, and one of my favorites:

A boy alone, so far from home Endless rooftops from my window I felt the gloom of empty rooms On rainy afternoons Sometimes in confusion I felt so lost and disillusioned Innocence gave me confidence To go up against reality

[Chorus:] All the same we take our chances Laughed at by time Tricked by circumstances Plus ca change Plus c'est la meme chose The more that things change The more they stay the same

Now I've gained some understanding Of the only world that we see Things that I once dreamed of Have become reality These walls that still surround me Still contain the same old me Just one more who's searching for A world that ought to be
