the voice from on high

the signature move of the last detective is, to
lay all of the cards out on the table before moving on; this
is an error, there are no cards, no reason to move on
the soul pours out its song as it cries out for release,
the cards have no face and no numbers,
they can barely even be realeased in song.

the real reason for doing what you do
is because you WANT to. not because
there are those calling for it,
unless it is you that is the calling.
'forgetting those things which are behind, and pressing
toward the mark.'

the psychedelic subconscious should rule our hearts and our hands as we strive to become productive members of society; taking out that bank account may be the last decision you will ever make. you must plan as well as plead; hope for life-- but hope does not feed your family, it only terrifies them. be you, but be it even as you are leveling out and leveling up. do not
fret or frown; life has its ups and downs, and to be vacant while all of life is progressing around you is not only foolish, it is hard to wake up from.

i saw a man on the bus today, red face, worn hat, he smelled of old beer and old age.
he could have been thirty or he could have been more.
and when i looked into his eyes,
i saw myself


i see myself in everyone, and that is how i stay alive
be sure to learn even as you are teaching, otherwise
you will die
