LETTER TO A FUNDAMENTALIST WHO'S SCHIZOPHRENIC


 “May You imagine, mostly, Lovely things! Foreseeing dangers also can be wise. But if it's bad ta which your thinking clings, you've missed the grace which truly satisfies! Religion just might help, and just might harm, it all depends on what it helps ya do. 'Cause if ya Live in terrified alarm, it might be what you're thinking isn't true.”

WHY NOT GROW UP & TURN TO THE LORD?


 “When vanity, or pride, controls a heart, confusion's gonna reign within that mind. So, selfishness, ya see, ain't never smart, ta Truth that person's gonna be part-blind. A heart that's pure can better understand; we need ta purify our hearts each day. Or evil, friend, will get quite out o' hand, and sane is something we're not gonna stay. So let's devote ourselves ta truth, and thrive; be kind and helpful, very patient, too. A grown-up 's gonna Give up all the jive, and, probably, dear Lord, will turn ta You!”

KINDHEARTED GAL


 “Kindhearted Gal, you're very good ta me, and I appreciate the love ya show. And by your side, I'm very glad ta be, you're nice, you're sweet, you're kind, all this I know. Please, don't believe in every scary thought, 'cause crazy thoughts can overtake a mind. And Truth can't be possessed, it must be sought, and pride in knowledge makes a person blind. Conceit is certainly a nasty trap, self-righteousness corrupts a foolish heart, and lies the strength of any mind can Sap, but kindly, helpful truths make people smart!”

DIGGING MY KARMA


 “This self-made prison cell is not too bad! Lord, Help me use it now fer loving You! You are the only Hope I've ever had, so, help me straighten Up, dear Lord, please do!”

Mere words can never Bless ya near enough. It's Love you're needin', More than Anything. Adversity has got ya feelin' Rough, so may the Lord ta you his solace bring.” Amen

FORGIVE YOUR NEIGHBORS, WALK IN GLORY


'Not everyone will want ta get a clue… 'bout everything that's good or bad fer you. Forgive them all the things they fail ta know, and as ya practice that, your love will grow. And may your loving cover all of Earth, resentment go right down the nearest drain; within your heart may Spirit bring rebirth, and you arise ta walk up Glory Lane! Sound Good?”

FOR PEACE IN A MEETING


 “Why isn't love what's happening now and here? Why isn't kind and helpful truth what's heard? If we'd get still, things might become more clear, mud settles, when the pond 's no longer stirred.”
