practice


The world you see is just a movie in your mind.
Rocks don't see it.
Bless and sit down.
Forgive and forget.
Practice kindness all day to everybody
and you will realize you're already 
in heaven now.
That's the story.
That's the message.
Nobody understands it,
nobody listens, they're
all running around like chickens with heads cut
off.  I will try to teach it but it will 
be in vain, s'why I'll 
end up in a shack
praying and being
cool and singing 
by my woodstove
making pancakes.
