The Secret of Life

The secret of life – James Taylor [performance by India Arie (one of my favorite artiste)]

The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time

Any fool can do it

There ain’t nothing to it

Nobody knows how we got toΒ 

The top of the hill

But since we’re on our way down

We might as well enjoy the ride


The secret of love is in opening up your heart

It’s okay to feel afraid

But don’t let that stand in your way no

‘Cause anyone knows that love is the only road

And since we’re only here for a while yeah

Might as well show some style


Give us a smile now

Isn’t it a lovely ride

Sliding down

And gliding down

Try not to try too hard

It’s just a lovely ride


Now the thing about time is that time

Isn’t really real

It’s all on your point of view

How does it feel for you

Einstein said that he could never understand it all

Planets spinning through space

The smile upon your face


Welcome to the human race

Isn’t that a lovely ride

Sliding down

Gliding down

Try not to try too hard

It’s just a lovely ride


Isn’t that a lovely ride

Oh mama yes

See me sliding down

And gliding down

Try not to try too hard

It’s just a lovely ride

Now the secret of life is enjoying the passage of time

  1. who “thiefed” Ochuko’s phone? or was Ochuko just careless with it? lol…should we pray for the recovery of the phone, rather than just the numbers?…

    nice piece, thx…n come bk soon…

    1. JustDee, I prefer we pray for both, but the contacts/numbers take highest priority. The phone can go. πŸ™‚ I don’t just know how it happened. Thanks. Would be back soonest. πŸ™‚

  2. Losing a phone can cause some disruptions in the schedule. Pele.
    That was a beautiful poem. Just enjoy life because really there isn’t anything you can do. You already have it.

    1. LuciousRon, thanks a bunch. the feeling of the loss can be very disturbing, but I’m not disturbing myself bout it.
      True talk on enjoying life. We have to use it to the max. Nice day πŸ™‚

  3. Hope you are good and having a great time.
    You lost your phone? awww, in ths age and time where cell phones are so rampant, losing one could make you feel naked. No vex too much about it, afterall vexing no go bring back the phone.

    The secret of life is enjoying the time we have; cherishing every moment cos they wont be recovered…true words, if only everyone could internalize that and practice it. have a great week
