Everything is out there waiting to be found, fulfilled or created
Beneath the surface to the invisible machinery
Within the land of cause and effect
In the evening news
On the morning paper
Black font on a glowing bright white page
It seems as if we sit before the trickster with a fire between us
The heat blurring and rippling the projections and sounds
Times are fraught and tightening
More threatening everyday
Some would have us think
How to work over the news:
Search for beauty everywhere
And know yourself
Look on the world as you would see it
And like a god craft it in your image
Wake to the world you would have greet you every morning
How to work over the news:
Let go of the uncontrollable without worry or doubt
Find stories everywhere
Look on the face of objects and natures and peoples
Find comfort in the uniqueness of life
And what a gift it is to be alive In the world
And to know your alive
How to work over the news:
Cater to your strengths
Pursue what you can control
Respect the reality
Adapt to the present
You will survive
(Take a journey from the surface to the subatomic to the metaphysical
Beyond the territory of right and wrong
and smile.)
