that quote came from the song. I related it to, focusing in on that spot of nonconception; being drinking the water from the mountain spring. Then the shitting my brains out commences, literally, my brain diarrhea's thought.
all sorts of little relativities
as life unfolds aren't we all moving as we are inclined
-------------------- "Springs of water welling from the fire" "Life may seem to flee in a moment, but when the mind is freed of the veil of ignorance, and illusion that comes between the mind and the truth, life and death are only opposite sides of the same coin - "water welling from the fire."
"Within us, we carry the world of no-birth and no-death. But we never touch it, because we live only with our notions." -Thich Nhat Hanh instant "Experience always goes beyond ideas"

Yup... no notions
you are where you are for a reason, and tomorrow you are too
it is easy to become attached to I am this, I must do that, life is about this and this
let go (easier said than done) but meditation everyday helps

mucho agreeance me friend, the flow we go 
"my ass is rainier than the month of may"

"trouble never sit up like rain"
IT NEVER SIT UP LIKE RAIN
LIFE IS FULL OF JOY AND PAIN
NO BODY KNOWS WHAT THE NEXT DAY BRING

yup, there is a tendency to only want joy and no pain :-)
I see pain as an opportunity to grow stronger, to learn etc. no joy without pain
have had lots of pain, and also lots of joy sometimes pain so long I can't remember what things working were like but suddenly things start working again and you appreciate it even more
there is only now, but often I plan tomorrow too
balance :-P

there is joy without pain. some perspectives may not appreciate joy after joy and no salt of pain, "may not" otherwise the aphorism is 'philosophical' a mind stopper.

mio said: Being awake usually entails being aware that you are 100% in control of your own life.
do you really think you can be 100% in control? how would you know if you were at 100%?

Acceptance
if you dont accept you are never in control acceptance is not about seeking control but making the best out of what you got appreciate what you have at any time, work with what you have
control means choice here, you can chose what you do with what you have
worry about what I dont have or appreciate what I have?
you can be 100% in control of own thoughts and actions, if you meditate enough but not the kind of control where you think about every action, you just know it is right when it brings happiness to yourself and people around you
your point is valid though.. we are rarely free from own thought and rarely in control
control -> choice
being in control is nice, and we rarely are in control always

i hear there are the rare oddities that have practiced hard enough to be able to dream awake while asleep 100% of the time... no unconscious sleep (if willed). that would be my idea of being in control !
