Watch the meadow grasses as they wave in the wind. Imagine the breeze as spirit’s breath blowing over the world, inspiring all beings and giving them life.
let’s get away from who we think we are
and the things we cannot do
look into the mirror and pretend you’re me
and i’ll pretend i am you
One should forgive, under any injury. It hath been said that the continuation of the species is due to human’s being forgiving. Forgiveness is holiness; by forgiveness the universe is held together. Forgiveness is the might of the mighty; forgiveness is sacrifice; forgiveness is quiet of mind. Forgiveness and gentleness are the qualities of the self-possessed. They represent eternal virtue.
the tree don’t care what the little bird sings
we go down with the dew in the morning
the trees don’t know what the little bird brings
we go down with the dew in the morning
and we breathe it in there is no need to forgive
Continual intellectual study results in vanity and the false satisfaction of an undigested knowledge.
i was stuck in the ground
trying to cover my eyes
trying to move all this light
i spent all night
trying to remember your face
like trying to get blood from a stone
but there was nothing to save and no one to lie to
During the effort of being one-pointed, the yogi will be unsuccessful unless he can by concentration withdraw his attention from the activities of the life force in the various senses. Otherwise, he will be constantly distracted by restless thoughts—the mental concepts formed from sensory stimuli by the “fanciful faculty” of feeling.
don’t forget, don’t forget
mmhmm
that i believe in you
should you forget, should you forget
let me remind you
that i am behind you
Turning a corner, I ran into an old acquaintance—one of those long-winded fellows whose conversational powers ignore time and embrace eternity.
there is fiction in the space between
the lines on your page of memories
write it down but it doesn’t mean
you’re not just telling stories there is fiction in the space between you and me
you and everybody
give us all what we need
give us one more sad sordid story
but in the fiction of the space between
sometimes a lie is the best thing
Love gives joy. We love love because it gives us such intoxicating happiness. So love is not the ultimate; the ultimate is bliss.
i saw it coming like summer rain
incoming ocean, oncoming train
i veered in circles to get off your path
i tried to warn you
that this would be the kiss that counted
the one that mattered
my life before me undone this would be the kiss that counted
Many people excuse their own faults but judge other persons harshly. We should reverse this attitude by excusing others’ shortcomings and by harshly examining our own.
but let me get to the point, let’s roll another joint
and turn the radio loud, i’m too alone to be proud you don’t know how it feels
you don’t know how it feels to be me
people come, people go
some grow young, some grow cold
i woke up in between
a memory and a dream

Let us teach real joy to men. Many have unlearned it. Life, though full of woe, holds also sources of happiness and joy, unknown to most. Let us teach people to seek and to find real joy within themselves and to rejoice with the joy of others. Let us teach them to unfold their joy to ever sublimer heights!
calling on blue skies
don’t take them away, boys
don’t take them away
cause i’ll never stop
