Explanation

The song this blog is named after:

"A Spoonful Weighs a Ton" (by the Flaming Lips)

And though they were sad
They rescued everyone
They lifted up the sun
A spoonful weighs a ton
Giving more than they had
The process had begun
A million came from one
The limits now were none
Being drunk on their plan, they lifted up the sun

Forcing it off with their hands
The trapdoor came undone
Above our heads it swung
The privilege had been won
Being drunk on their plan, they lifted up the sun

Yelling as hard as they can
The doubters all were stunned
Heard louder than a gun
The sound they made was love love love love love love love love

The above image is going to be the basis for my next tattoo. (concept- me, artwork- Erin) Why? Because I love the idea that we human beings are capable of working together to accomplish something bigger than ourselves. If people care enough, human ingenuity, compassion, and drive can overcome just about any obstacle. Humans have an amazing capacity for good (and evil)...it's just a matter of caring enough and pushing towards the same goal. When we do...who knows? Maybe we *could* lift the sun.
