“I shoot a thought into the future, and it flies like an arrow, through my lifetime. And beyond.”

Paul Simon (1941) American musician, songwriter and producer

Everything About It Is a Love Song
Song lyrics, Surprise (2006)
Context: I shoot a thought into the future, and it flies like an arrow, through my lifetime. And beyond.
If I ever come back as a tree, or a crow, or even the wind-blown dust; find me on the ancient road in the song when the wires are hushed. Hurry on and remember me, as I'll remember you. Far above the golden clouds, the darkness vibrates.
The earth is blue.
And everything about it is a love song. Everything about it.

“If you would hit the mark, you must aim a little above it;
Every arrow that flies feels the attraction of earth.”

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882) American poet
