Just How I Feel, Pt. 2 |
One day, Confucius was out for a walk with his disciples |
And he saw an old man fall into a big mountain stream |
And thought, «Alas, he is sick and old and tired of life and he is making off |
with himself» |
For below where the point where he fell in was an enormous cataract |
And then, uh, rocks and rapids underneath |
But suddenly, the old man appeared way down below the rapids |
He crawled out of the stream, and went strolling along the banks |
Confucius was amazed |
And he immediately sent a disciple to run after the old man so that he could |
talk to him |
He said, «Sir, I thought you were about to make away with yourself |
But I see now that you must be a spirit» |
And he said, «No, I’m not a spirit, I’m just a perfectly human being.» |
«Well, then how did you survive the cataract?» |
He said, in no special way, «I just went in with a swirl and came up with a |
whirl» |
«I did nothing, I simply adapted myself to the nature of the world» |
And so in the same way, we have, he’d connected with the Daoist |
And Zen, early zen traditions |
Many instances of famous monks who were quite mad |
On the announcement for this series of workshops and seminars |
There is a drawing of Hanshan |
And he and his companion, Shide |
As the Japanese say, «Kanzan and Jittoku» |
They were two mountain hermits |
Who are favorite subjects of Zen artists |
This little light of mine |
I’m gonna let it shine |
This little light of mine |
I’m gonna let it shine |
Even if I die |
I’m, I’m gonna let it shine |
Let it shine |
I will try not to acquiesce to the idealism I built in my head |
Consumed by an inaugural address in the corner of a concrete room with |
bittersweet lateral grooves |
The remnants of this commencement dissipate through the trees and a forest |
leading to the fountain of life |
Where we’ll lose a fight when the continuum of life ceases to simply comply |
with the energy we occupy |
'Cause when we’re alive it’s connected to our thoughts |
Which means the energy can be connected to our love or our hope |
And when we finally choke |
The energy will move on and our swan song will simply be an echo |
So we can let go |
Hey John, this is a poem idea I have |
I don’t know if I’ve fleshed it out enough |
I don’t know if I’m saying more than I should |
Without understanding it completely but I want you to hear this |
God is a camera and if you’re not ready to show everything on camera |
Then you should be — you should not be in the scene |
I wanna be something, but I don’t want to feel the weight of accepting |
responsibility |
So I don’t drive down the roads where my dead friends used to live |
I don’t drive by the house where my innocence died as a kid |
I was supposed to be at the Church of Christ, not the Church of Vices |
But now I’m afraid to love someone who isn’t like this |
So I changed the radio station when they played the new Eminem featuring Ed |
Sheeran |
'Cause I don’t need another white pop star collaboration to define my generation |
Forgive me, friends, I created this world in my head |
I’m sorry you have to live with it |
Nah, scratch that |
Forgive me, friends, I’m selfish |
Call me back buddy |
Bye |
