Memoirs of A Hallucinatory
HELLO, DEAR STRANGER
THIS IS WHERE I BROOK-BABBLE,
THINK, AND SOMETIMES, SEE.

A FOOTNOTE
If you are a dreamer, come in. If you are a wisher, a liar, a hoper, a prayer, a magic bean buyer. If you are a pretender, come sit by my fire, for we have some flax-golden tales to spin. Come in! Come in!
- Shel Silverstein
I rant, I share thoughts and wonderings, and occasionally I will even manage a rare little epiphany or two, although the moment of rusty clarity can't ever last in glorious impermanence.

I SWEAR
I have loved the words and I have hated them, and I hope I have made them right.
Listen to these words and don't talk for a while. There's a difference between hearing and listening.

DEAR STRANGER-FRIENDS
Spiderwebs
LIVE HIGH
I try to picture the girl
Through a looking glass
See her as a carbon atom
See her eyes and
Stare back at them
See that girl
As her own new world
Though her home is on the surface
She is still a universe
Glory god or goddess
Peeking through the blinds
Are we all here standing naked
Taking guesses at the
Actual date and time
Oh my, justifying reasons why
Is an absolutely insane
Resolution to live by
Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
Takin' it easy
Live high
Live might
Live righteously
Try to picture the man
To always have an open hand
See him as a giving tree
See him as matter
Matter o' fact he's not a beast
No, not the devil either
Always a good-deed-doer
And it's laughter that we're makin' after all
The call of the wild is
Still in order nationwide
In the order of the primates
All our politics are too late
Oh my, the congregation
In my mind
Is this assembly singing o' gratitude
Practicing their lovin' for you
Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
Takin' it easy
Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
And just take it easy
And celebrate the malleable reality
Because nothing is ever as it seems
Oh this life is but a dream...
(Lift me up to the Almighty
Raise your hands and start acknowledging)
Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
Just takin' it easy

Live righteously
Just... take it easy...

WOWs - WORDS OF WONDERING
- What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
- A bell's no bell 'til you ring it, A song's no song 'til you sing it. And love in your heart wasn't put there to stay - love isn't love till you give it away.
- All answers have questions but not all questions have answers.
- When is it, do you know, when the colors get so dazzling you wish you were colorblind?
- Unzip your mind.
- If music be the food of love, play (strikethrough) ROCK on.
- You know what? 'Cos I don't.
