Waking up begins with saying Am and Now.
Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It’s perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we’ve learned something from yesterday.

C’est Foi dans la langue du ciel,
Amour dans la langue des hommes.
“Faith” in the language of heaven, is
“Love” in the language of men.

summer
appears to have the power
of ten thousand gods.

Life is holy, and the journey is Now. Say it with a Bop beat.

For @Ratrage
I have brought back a good message from the land of 102 degrees:
God exists.
I had seriously doubted it before;
but the bedposts spoke of it with utmost confidence,
the threads in my blanket took it for granted,
the tree outside the window dismissed all complaints,
and I have not slept so justly for years.
It is hard, now, to convey
how emblematically appearances sat
upon the membranes of my consciousness;
but it is truth long known
that some secrets are hidden from health.
