I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues.
Duke EllingtonRead
Tomorrow is in the wings waiting for you to sound her entrance fanfare.
Interpretation
Tomorrow represents potential and new opportunities that await us.
Duke Ellington's quote emphasizes the idea that each new day brings with it fresh possibilities and opportunities. Just as an actor waits for the cue to enter the stage, tomorrow is ready for us to embrace it and make the most of what lies ahead. This encourages us to approach each day with anticipation and readiness to act on the opportunities that come our way.
In practice
In a motivational speech to inspire students about their future.
I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues.
There is no art without intention.
There is nothing to keeping a band together. You simply have to have a gimmick, and the gimmick I use is to pay them money!
Gray skies are just clouds passing over.
Playing 'bop' is like playing Scrabble with all the vowels missing.
Jazz is a good barometer of freedom.
The shadows that now lie dark upon our path will soon be dispelled and we shall walk with the light all about us if we but be true to ourselves.
All of the buildings, all of those cars_x000D_ _x000D_ Were once just a dream_x000D_ _x000D_ In somebodys head.
As long as there is one upright man, as long as there is one compassionate woman, the contagion may spread and the scene is not desolate. Hope is the thing that is left us in a bad time.
So here is why I write what I do: We all have futures. We all have pasts. We all have stories. And we all, every single one of us, no matter who we are and no matter whatβs been taken from us or what poison weβve internalized or how hard weβve had to work to expel it β β we all get to dream.
As this New Year begins, ask God to help you tune your life every day to His Word, so you can bring harmony and joy to those around you.
Go forth in every direction- for the happiness, the harmony, the welfare of the many. Offer your heart, the seeds of understanding, like a lamp overturned and re-lit, illuminating the darkness.
