heart of gold


    I want to live, I want to give
    I've been a miner for a heart of gold
    It's these expressions I never give
    That keep me searching for a heart of gold and I'm getting old
    Keep me searching for a heart of gold and I'm getting old

    I've been to Hollywood, I've been to Redwood
    I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
    I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line
    That keeps me searching for a heart of gold and I'm getting old
    Keeps me searching for a heart of gold and I'm getting old

    Keep me searching for a heart of gold
    You keep me searching and I'm growing old
    Keep me searching for a heart of gold
    I've been a miner for a heart of gold

    Romper Stomping!!

    Remember these??  (If you are to young to remember romper stompers, go to ebay and order yourself a pair--you won't be sorry!!)

    As a little girl they made me feel taller.  And powerful.  Like a godzilla in high heels!!  

    I would start out like a maniac tripping and falling not paying much attention to form and balance.  Eventually my ankles would demand that I slow down and figure out exactly how to walk on them.  I would carefully place my feet, give some thought to balance, and pretty soon I would be covering some serious ground.   It seems like right about the time I was getting into a  rhythm another kid would come along and I would throw reason to the wind and start crashing along either to keep up or get ahead!!

    This was my inspiration for Romper Stomping.  I'm still doing it- crashing forward in chaos trying to live this life, then slowing down to find purpose and make it real.
    Only to find myself crashing on again!
