Ah I certainly can change from one write to another, one self doubting, the next humorous and fun, hope you enjoy this diddy, bring your recipe book as this may be an excellent addition...ed

Recipe for Searching the Soul…


 


One bottle of old Kentucky Bourbon, no glass necessary,


At least one joint of considerably good herb, (can be deleted)


Time alone, with the self, to get down and dirty with you,


Preferably no TV, nor radio, nor computer, except your typing screen…


 


Mix these items together, stir rapidly, and shake vehemently,


All will transpire & flow from within, exactly what you want to happen,


Remember to not allow this combination the desire to drive,


As with any other volatile mix such as this,


Driving can be hazardous to your health…


 


Now take it from me, this is the way to search your soul,


Learned it from an old guru in the mountains of Tibet,


Beard down to his balls, and hair to his ass,


He told me talk to him, anything I wanted to know, just ask…


 


So herein you will find his recipe for searching,


Handed down thru the ages, from monk to monk, to me, as I was perching,


On his rock of ages, so high above the world, the air was thin,


As was his stench quite the opposite, he said he never bathed, I agreed,


So allow your imagination to flow, you can just about see me want to go,


For this knowledge he did impart to me, I traded so little, just some seed…

Hey, have you really been to Tibet? I hear they've got some really wise people there.

For one who rambles a bit... who recognizes impact when it blams her between the eyes, me sweet Ed... I'm "tongue-ties".. I think reading this was exactly what I needed exactly now... I can't explain it, but this was just amazing for my head right this minute... one of your best. It's probably because it just FEELS like something that came from your gut! I respond to that. Well done. katy xox.
