ALL TOO MANY OF US

“Just give me someone I can demonize, another one to idolize, I'm set. I know I'm right, I'm cool, I'm cute and wise, I'm sure as anyone could ever get! What I believe is fact, beyond all doubt; I'm right, and all my enemies are wrong. Reality, I don't know Much about, 'cause my attention span ain't very long! So, please, indulge and entertain me now, I'm very tired of thinking things so much. And You don't Make much Sense, bud, anyhow; I'm much too busy stayin' outta touch!”

TO BE CONTENT

“Oh, why not be content right here and now? Yes, why complain, and past-and-future-trip? Why ever let a worry crease your brow? Friend, when ya think too much, it's YOU ya gyp! Now, breathing in and out 's a holy gift, so, let us both be satisfied with that! Ta practice peace gives Any heart a Lift; the kindliness resulting 's where it's At!”

NOTE TO A FUNDAMENTALIST

 “Conceptual thinking's very deadly stuff, and fundamentalism's deadly, too. If You be proud or scared, you'll have it rough – so Let the Lord reveal himself to You!”
