Find a spot for us to spark.

Ahhh the sweet summers of being eighteen to twenty one years old on Block Island, Rhode Island. 

 I was fortunate to spend three months each year (for four consecutive years) working on a seven mile long island resembling an absolute New England dream; green coastline, lighthouses, white colonial buildings, saltwater ponds, hiking trails that stretched to cliffs and breathtaking beaches so clean it's as though they were never touched by the hundreds of daytime tourists or nightly parties with bonfires that raged 'til sunrise.  May through September were magic.  And you all know by now that I heart magic. :)

One of my closest friends Tracy introduced me to this song one evening as we were sitting around our room, small and cozy underneath the local island pharmacy; burning incense and filling our heads with the day's latest island stories- stories that I now know will live on forever.  This song "A long walk" is sultry, stimulating, and poetic. ME like poetic?  Nooooooo.  Not Victoria. ;p  Do yourself a favor- turn this one up and read the lyrics.  Yes.  Become a lyric, poetic person. Why?  Because words are life and the images that come through this particular song are bliss.  Put yourself in it, love it, and live it. ;) There's nothing like amazing conversation and verbal elation.  The mind is powerful and the meeting of two minds that connect is basically an explosion of space and time.... at least for me.

"You're here, I'm pleased

I really dig your company

Your style, your smile, your peace mentality

Lord, have mercy on me

I was blind, now I can see

What a king's supposed to be

Baby I feel free, come on and go with me

Let's take a long walk around the park after dark

Find a spot for us to spark

Conversation, verbal elation, stimulation

Share our situations, temptations, education, relaxations

Elevations, maybe we can talk about Surah 31:18

Your background it ain't squeaky clean shit

Sometimes we all got to swim upstream

You ain't no saint, we all are sinners

But you put your good foot down and make your soul a winner

I respect that, man you're so phat

And you're all that, plus supreme

Then you're humble man I'm numb

Yo with feeling, I can feel everything that you bring

Let's take a long walk around the park after dark

Find a spot for us to spark

Conversation, verbal elation, stimulation

Share our situations, temptations, education, relaxations

Elevations, maybe we can talk about Revelation 3:17

Or maybe we can see a movie

Or maybe we can see a play on Saturday (Saturday)

Or maybe we can roll a tree and feel the breeze and listen to a symphony

Or maybe chill and just be, or maybe

Maybe we can take a cruise and listen to the Roots or maybe eat some passion fruit

Or maybe cry to the blues

Or maybe we could just be silent

Come on, Come on

Let's take a long walk around the park after dark

Find a spot for us to spark

Conversation, verbal elation, stimulation

Share our situations, temptations, education, relaxations

Elevations, maybe we can talk about Psalms in entirety

Or maybe we can see a movie

Or maybe we can see a play on Saturday (Saturday)

Or maybe we can roll a tree and feel the breeze and listen to a symphony

Or maybe chill and just be, or maybe

Maybe we can take a cruise and listen to the Roots or maybe eat some passion fruit

Or maybe cry to the blues

Or maybe we could just be silent

Come on, Come on

Let's take a long walk around the park after dark

Find a spot for us to spark

Conversation, verbal elation, stimulation

Share our situations, temptations, education, relaxations

Elevations, maybe baby, maybe we can save the nation

Come on, Come on"
