Whether growing #wild, or purposefully cultivated, the gorgeous blue #flowers can often be spotted blooming in heart of the #concretejungle.

Lines from Bob Marley:

> Where the living is hardest...

> They made their world so hard..

and lines from Yeats:

> The winds that awakened the stars are blowing through my blood.

> Now words that called up the lightning
Are hurtling through my heart.

recur in my mind the same sort of way. I still can't get the un-heart just-read poem lines to remain as exact as the often-heard performed-song lines though.

A reply to my morning e-mail yesterday about taking the day off,

> I think everyone would be happier if it were easier.

, prompted a Bob Marley soundtrack for people that feel like this but can't take a vacation day.

> They make their world so hard.."^1

> Where the living is hardest! ^2

I never heard a studio version of #ConcreteJungle by #BobMarley before, it's nice after enjoying the #live version on the #CD #BabylonByBus for decades. #ElPerroReggae helped me get the lyrices for #HowManyTime a while ago too, it's nice to see the lyrics in both English and Spanish. #JunglaDeCemento
