#36 The Look of Love (Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66) 👍🏼
Lyrics: The look of love is in your eyes A look the time can’t disguise The look of lo… ve is saying so much more Than just words could ever say And what my heart has heard Well, it takes my breath away I can hardly wait to hold you Feel my arms around you How long I have waited Waited just to love you Now that I have found you You’ve got the look of love It’s on your face A look the time can’t erase Be mine tonight Let this be just the start Of so many nights like this Let’s take a lover’s vow And then seal it with a kiss I can hardly wait to hold you Feel my arms around you How long I have waited Waited just to love you Now that I have found you Don’t ever go (Don’t ever go) Don’t ever go (Don’t ever go) Don’t ever go (Don’t ever go) Don’t ever go (Don’t ever go) Don’t ever go (Don’t ever go) Don’t ever go (Don’t ever go) Don’t ever go (Don’t ever go)
“Sometimes a person has to go back, really back–to have a sense, an understanding of all that’s gone to make them–before they can go forward.”
Sir Paul Roderick Clucas Marshall (British Investor; August 2nd, 1959 ~ )
“On the authentic dig we shall also go in search of a mosaic: what brought us moments of happiness and contentment.”
“Let your authnetic archaeologist gather artifacts that can coax memory: old photographs, letters, mementos.”
“See what memories are triggered as you reacquaint yourself with the girl and woman you once were. Linger only on the happy times. What you are searching for is a pattern of personal, authentic pleasures and preferences. These are the chips in your mosaic.”
“The events in our lives happen in a sequence in time, but in our significance to ourselves they find their own order…With patience and quiet observation, these events will provide the seeker in you with a ‘continuous thread of revelation.'”
Eudora Welty (American Short Story Writer, Novelist and Photographer; April 13th, 1909 ~ July 23rd, 2001)

“I have been uncovering my past to see how it lands for me now. I have been intentionally listening to the music and watching films from my birth year 1968. It has been so fun to watch and listen…waiting to see what bubbles up. I realize I have a huge music and film interest genre. I even reeled in my husband to watch a few flicks with me. I love this journey!” (Heather Houston 2-20-26)
