When you are sorrowful
look into your heart
and you shall see that

for that which has been
your delight

Fred Alan Wolf on Faith

The quantum leap... is to be taken both literally and figuratively.  In its literal sense, the quantum leap is the tiny but explosive jump that a particle of matter undergoes in moving from one plane to another.  The new physics - quantum physics - indicates that all particles composing the physical universe must move in that fashion or cease to exist.  Since you and I are composed of atomic annd subatomic matter, we, too, must "take the quantum leap."

In the figurative sense, taking the quantum leap means taking a risk, going off into an uncharted territory with no guide to follow.  Such a venture is an uncertain affair at best.  It also means risking something that no one else would are risk.

James Taylor on Letting Go

You Can Close Your Eyes

Well, the sun is surely sinking down
But the moon is slowly rising
So this old world must still be spinning 'round
And I still love you

So close your eyes
You can close your eyes
It's alright
I don't know no love songs
And I can't sing the blues anymore
But I can sing this song
And you can sing this song
When I'm gone

It won't be long before another day
We're gonna have a good time
And no one's going to take that time away
You can stay as long as you like

So close your eyes
You can close your eyes
It's alright
I don't know no love songs
And I can't sing the blues anymore
But I can sing this song
And you can sing this song
When I'm gone

James Taylor
Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon, 1971
