Lotus-land as it appears in 'Free Will' is simply a metaphor for an idealized background, a 'land of milk and honey.' It is sometimes also used as a pejorative name for Los Angeles, though that was not in my mind when I wrote it.

You just become adaptable and try to lead a good life in ways that make sense, regardless. Because I know at the end of it, if I'm going to meet Jesus or Allah or Buddha, I'm going to be all right.

Throw off those chains of reason and your prison disappears.

If you want something done right, just forget it.

Courageous convictions will drag the dream into existence.

It's always a happy day when YYZ appears on our luggage tags.

Dedicated to the future, with honor to the past.
