John Mayer soothes.

Pain throws you heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good

an experiment

in positive psychology. remember that time we were five and Sesame Street, in its peculiarly simple wisdom was on and it was February and the hill in Cape Elizabeth kindergarten was oh so big to slide on and I couldn't figure out whether that turquoise napkin was blue or green? life was good then, but the power of the technique is that you can bring that happiness of that moment and apply it to this one. and I feel better already.
