Freedom Studies - Hiatus
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
- Joni Mitchell, Big Yellow Taxi
Freedom Studies is going on hiatus while I ponder Joni Mitchell lyrics on my 69th birthday, including:
I’ve looked at life from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's life's illusions, I recall
I really don’t know life at all - Both Sides Now
I hope to return soon
