Quotes from Genesis (1)

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord (Phil Collins)

Son, " he said / "Grab your things, I've come to take you home" (Peter Gabriel)

You know I want to, but I'm in too deep (Genesis)

I will follow you will you follow me (Genesis)

Why are you shaking like a leaf? / Come on, come talk to me (Peter Gabriel)

In our secret world we were colliding / All the places we were hiding love / What was it we were thinking of? (Peter Gabriel)

Don't give up / You're not beaten yet / Don't give up / I know you can make it good (Peter Gabriel)

I thought you'd always be there / I almost believed you (Genesis)

I think I caught his spirit / Later that same year / I'm sure I heard his echo / In my baby's new born tears / I just wish I could have told him / In the living years (Mike and the Mechanics)

I am sorry that I was not enough

When you found me and I found you, I was wrecked. I was lost, and I was lonely. Trying to heal. I think you were all of those things too. Two lost, damaged people who found each other at sea. There was room enough for two on the door that we clung to. You taught me more than anyone else in my life before or since. Technical things. Practical things. New places. New Experiences. I had fun, and I hope you did too. I think you did at the time. You and I made a great partnership. Our personalities supporting each other. The sum of us greater than each of us.

Looking at myself and how much you did for me, I could only see my weaknesses and how much I needed you.  I could not imagine the doubts inside of you, and I could not see your fears. I could not see

Identity Archetypes

Our core identity reflects first our driving purpose: to leave a legacy, to connect to others, to provide structure, or to explore the spiritual. Second, our dominant approach to life...heart, mind, or body...influences how we seek our purpose. Do we seek to leave a legacy? Grounded in the heart, the rebel/outlaw seeks to leave a legacy of liberation by breaking the rules and over throwing the system. Centered in mind, the magician creates a legacy through transformation and growth for themselves and others. Based in the body, the hero seeks a legacy of victory and winning or at least keeping fighting. Do we seek to make a connection with others? Grounded in the heart , the lover's connection is intimate, seeking to love and be loved. Centered in mind, the jester connects through play and fun and laughter. Based in the body, the everyperson belongs to the community and fitting in and belonging. Do we seek to provide structure? Grounded in the heart, the caregiver provides str
