A son asked his father:
“What is the most important thing to know about life?”
and he replied:
“That it is big enough for everything.”
“Is that why they call it ‘life’?” he asked,
“You got it.”

To be asleep to see what is taking up space locally.
To be awake is to realize that only space 
takes up space, 
and that everything is borrowed.

   Originality is a concept unknown to cattle.
      And pigs have no posters on their walls.

You sleep in a bunch,
but awaken alone.
“Father?”
“Yes.”
“Is that why we should eventually merge?!”
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

There are evolutionary time zones,
and you live in at least two of them.
…(three, if you know what’s going on.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

To get his day off to a non standard start,
one man would glance quickly at his head in a mirror, 
then randomly dial a number on the phone,
and try to think of something to say 
to whoever answered.

  There have been instances of plastic surgeons
  hanging themselves,
  but never of a neurologist studying himself.
  “Why is that, pa pa?”
  “Ordinary people are too smart to try to turn their
   thoughts on to their OWN thoughts.”

        On one ocean,
         the captains apparently steering the vessels
         are not who is actually in charge.

              Note: To find who IS in charge,
              ordinary people will make random calls
              to self appointed specialists.

               Alert men know that no one is.
               “Gee, dad, that must be a real relief!”
               “You can’t begin to even imagine.”
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

It seems inevitable that when a man initially looks for a train to Awakeville
he never finds one whereon the conductor is shouting out, “All aboard!” --    backwards.

   Failing this,
   everyone commences the journey already a 
   step behind where they started.
   “Is that so that they can recognize from the back
    when the time comes?”
    “Indeed, my son, indeed.”
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

You might give more respect to your ignorance
since it is just the polarization of what you know.
“Father, is that why only fools 
listen to themselves talk?”
“Those, and those who criticize the fools.”

    Life is big enough for everything  --  except!
    polarized, sleeping thoughts in the same head as
    one idea about awakening.
       “Is that why Uncle Ringo was always 
        saying to himself: 
        “This town ain’t big enough for the two of us.”

             Once YOU realize what is really going on,
              you TOO will have no place to hide!

              ….(nor will you want to.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

One man says: “If facts weren’t certain to change,
printing presses wouldn’t be 
running around the clock.”
“And don’t forget about people’s minds,” chimed in his brother-in-law.

   There was once a man who wanted to learn the,
    “Mighty Secret Of Life,"
    and in his attempt, became the possessor of
    much knowledge in many areas.

    Some say that he did finally learn The Secret,
     (but others say he just disappeared, 
     and pretended to have,
     [and still others ask: “What’s the difference?!”])
        “Daddy, is that last bunch related to us?”
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

“Just because thoughts do not have a name for something
doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist.”
    Yes, it does.
“Oh!”
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

One man has been trying to leave town so as,
(as he puts it), “To escape a serial killer.”
Be advised that in the past this same man has been
reputed to be looking for The Big Secret.
…oh yeah, something else:
he lives alone and never sees anyone.

    There is something shadowy that stalks the inner
    terrain of a few….well, no that’s not exactly correct,
    it stalks everyone’s brain stem, 
    it’s just that only a few people are ever aware of
    its presence.

    In one place some call it by the name, 
    “Sleep-&-Distraction,”
    while others of the same tribe call it, “Fool Killer,”
    a situation that one folklorist says seems 
    pretty contradictory to him.
    But be forewarned my friends,
    there is nothing pretty about being so confused as
    to believe that you see contradictions. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

When one man heard that it was good to, 
but nearly impossible to, “Know yourself,”
he pondered for a sec -- 
then declared to his thoughts:
“Put a hundred of your best men on the job.”

   Guess what --  it only takes ONE!

   ….Okay --  the truth:
   It doesn’t even take that many 
   but if you tell people that up front,
   they get too spooked to ever get going.
 

       Come on, don’t you think it’s time to
                     get going.
