Do yourself a favor wake up to your mind life is what you make it you see and still you're blind. Just another song from a long time ago. Some may remember it and some may think it's so new. It doesn't matter....keep smiling each phase of your life.  I'm not a preacher or a philosopher, mostly I'm a bullshitter. But there are times I actually believe what I'm saying or writing has an element of truth to it. And really I know better than that. Usually anyway. Hopeful illusion seems like a good explanation of of how I feel mostly. I love love, but it's so intangible. It's really real the way I feel. And that was just another line from a song. I would say that every word here is a line from a song. It caught you. It caught me too. We too. Whee. What do you think the most popular song is besides om mani padme hum ? It's yidra. Say yidra ten thousand times and it's yours and you and yidra are all together possibly sitting in an english garden to wait for the sun. And then, you are content that you know the walrus' plight and you know that you have to do no more than to just sit quietly and breathe deeply until the next book that you're looking for will give you better directions. In the meantime though, you may think you have achieved what you were searching for. That's fine. You may even have to die with that in mind.

Good God!  No wonder 20 peeps have “viewed” this epiphanic scratching and not commented on it.  I'm absolutely SURE that THIS is the total guide for living Life.  (yes, I really like it, I'm not being sarcastic) It's like “Hitch Hiker's Guide” in cliff notes! Have you ever thought about having a Cliff Notes Party?  I just thought of it.  SEE what you engender?  Take a look at Naked Karma, dude!  Bouncing off your blog, I got the thought family called “Cliff Notes Party.”  What we all would do is select some deathless and soulful work of literature.  How about Candide?  And we could try to evoke some profound aspects of the piece's Universal Resonance, as we ourselves experience it, ONLY through reading what Cliff Notes says about it.  The object of the afternoon is to drink enough wine or beer that we start thinking we've actually done it!

I think we should concentrate of the beer,  and not worry about chanting.
