Just .. Think About That For a Minute

When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts, He Thinks Like a King
What He Knows Throws the Blows When He Goes to the Fight
and He'll Win the Whole Thing 'Fore He Enters the Ring
There's No Body to Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might
So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand
and Remember That Depth Is the Greatest of Heights
and If You Know Where You Stand, Then You'll Know Where to Land
and If You Fall It Won't Matter, Cuz You'll Know That You're Right !!

Wow. Just think about that for a minute. Let those words sink into your psyche. Those 90 words make up the title to Fiona Apple's second album released back in 1999. When I first read those words, I connected with them so fully that I fantasized for a whole month about tattoo'ing them on my torso. Once common sense won out I printed them on a piece of paper and tacked it up on my bulletin board. I ran across that tattered piece of paper this morning and re-reading the words gave me a jolt ... wanted to share it here with those of you who may be unaware of this magnificently talented girl.

It's worth listening to!
