Lyrics: Cab driver, drive by Mary’s place I just wanna chance to see her face Don’t stop the meter let it race Cab driver, drive by Mary’s place Cab driver, once more ’round the block Never mind the ticket or the clock I only wish we could have a talk Cab driver, once more ’round the block Cab driver, once more down the street There’s a little place we used to eat That’s where I laid my future at her feet Cab driver, once more down the street Cab driver, wait here by the door Perhaps I’ll hold her in my arms once more Then things will be just like they were before Cab driver, wait here by her door Cab driver, you’d better take me home I guess that I was meant to be alone I hope God sends me a love one of my own Cab driver, better take me home Cab driver, better take me home Cab driver, better take me home
“The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.”
Emily ElizabethDickinson (American poet; December 10th, 1830 ~ May 15th, 1886)
“Verve is the special ability or talent to pull something off with panache, from a fabulous outfit to an exquisite couplet of poetry. Verve comes into our lives when we dinally trust our instincts. When we take riskes and they payy off. Verve is passion. It’s also the secret of personal style. Verve is focused creative energy, a sense of vitality or zest.”
“And how do we learn to develop a finey honed sense of verve? By paying attention to the details. By accepting each day’s attempt to teach us more about our authenticity. By being constantly on the lookout for the ecstatic experience: what excited us or moves us to tears, what makes the blood rush to our head, our hearts skip a beat, our knees shaky, and our souls sigh.”

“I need to be bold in my exploration of my style to find the balance between panache and simplicity.” (Heather Houston 4-2-22)
“I am finding my style lives in fusion. I love eating in fusion, so why not in my style too. I need to undress this to find out what fusion style means to me authentically.” (Heather Houston 4-2-26)
