According to Buddha
Remain soft-spoken and forgiving, even when reason is on your side.
’cause I’ve always had a soft spot for repetition

Your search among books, word upon word, may lead you to the depths of knowledge, but it is not the way to receive the reflection of your true self. When you have thrown off your ideas as to mind and body, the original truth will fully appear.

If you are infected with the germs of worry you should go on a strict mental diet. You should feast regularly on the society of joyful minds. Every day you should associate, if only for a little while, with joy-instilled persons–those who meditate and feel the joy of spirit as a reality. Seek them out and feast with them on this most vitalising food of joy. Feast on laughter in the company of these really joyful people. Steadfastly continue your laughter diet once you have begun it, and at the end of a month or two you will see the change–your mind will be filled with sunshine.
well, i could play you
play you the blues
to help carry the load
while you’re paying your dues
but i got soul
i got sweet soul
soul
you’ve been often
misunderstood
you been tossed and tangled
in search of what’s good

Avoid a negative approach to life. Why gaze down the sewers when there is loveliness all around us? One may find some fault in even the greatest masterpieces of art, music, and literature. But isn’t it better to enjoy their charm and glory?
if you want another secret
can’t back out, or make it
you ain’t ever gonna be it
by takin’ someone else’s away
never take it for granted
you don’t have to understand it
here’s to whatever puts a smile on your face
whatever makes you happy people

Adopt plain living and high thinking.
when i was young i lived in a world of dreams
of moods and myths and illusionary schemes
though now i’m much more grown up
i fear that i must own up
to the fact that i’m in doubt of
what the modern cynics shout of
they say it’s spring
this feeling light as a feather

Seek your friends of past incarnations in order that you may continue your friendship in this life and perfect it into divine friendship. One lifetime is not always sufficient to achieve such perfection.
follow, follow the sun
and which way the wind blows
when this day is done
breathe, breathe in the air
set your intentions
dream with care
tomorrow’s a new day for everyone
a brand new moon and brand new sun

There is no excuse for a wrong state of mind. You must be always positive-minded, cheerful, smiling, vibrant. By all means, practice this mental youthfulness that comes from the core of your being.
i spent the day in bed
it’s a consolation
when all my dreams
are perfectly legal
in sheets for which i paid
i am now laid
and i recommend to all of my friends that they
stop watching the news!
because the news contrives to frighten you
to make you feel small and alone
to make you feel that your mind isn’t your own

The reverent presentation to me of a leaf, a flower, a fruit, or water, given with pure intention, is a devotional offering acceptable in my sight.
i left your house this morning,

it was a little after nine
it was in bobcaygeon, i saw the constellations

Abstaining from lying, from tale-bearing, from harsh language, and from vain talk; this is called the Mundane Right Speech which yields worldly fruits and brings good results.
your life is now your life is now your life is now
in this undiscovered moment
lift your head up above the crowd
we could shake this world
if you would only show us how
your life is now
