Tuesday night at the Bible study we lift our hands and pray over your body, but nothing ever happens.
A musician's attempt to summarize his or her work leads to all this prescriptive chatter, or what I call the Modifier's Madness. A lot of adjectives working overtime.
I have a lot of friends who have hula-hoops, it's like a mixture of dance and athletics and exercise, meditation. It's a healthy hobby I think. I can do a few tricks, I can hoop from my neck and shoulders, and I can do a few moves, a few tricks! I can walk through the hoop whilst it's spinning. I feel like there's definitely an interest in promoting the hula-hoop as an important pastime!

If we were to promise people nothing better than only revolution, they would scratch their heads and say: 'Is it not better to have good goulash?'
Life can't be cured, but it can be managed.
