grandfather
look at our brokenness
we nkow that in all creation
only the human family
has strayed from the sacred way
we know that we are the ones
who are divided
and we are the ones
who must come back together
to walk the sacred way
grandfather
sacred one
teach us love, compassion, honour
that we may heal th earth
and heal each other

shawnee proverb

when you arise in the morning
give thanks for the morning light
for your life and strength
give thanks for your food
and the joy of living.

if you see no reason for giving thanks
the fault lies in yourself.

In conclusion, there is no conclusion.
Things will go on as they
always have, getting weirder all the time.

Every few thousand years some shepherd inhales smoke from a
burning bush and has a vision or eats moldy rye bread in a cave and sees
God. From then on their followers kill one another at the slightest
provocation. Haunted houses called temples are built by one side and torn
down by another - and then bloody quarrels continue over the crumbling
foundations.

IF THE TELEPHONE
RINGS TODAY...
WATER IT!
-Rev. Thomas, Gnostic
N.Y.C. Cabal

-its all from a book of eris
