&lt;p&gt;      ah, in the midst of the trans forma shun i sea 
the publicity 
the apathey 
the confundi 

of where to turn how to say how to par tiss i pate 

in the majick of now.... 

the drums are wobbly, 
angels wings fall upon ...us 

i sit by the fires 
i see whiskey 
i see radios 
i see 
blur 

i hear desire! a start a seed to en gage in the forming of the dreamworld 

this 
means 
showing up 
contributing 
silence 
devotion 
integration 
impeccability 
subtlety 

the future is a promotion now, 2012 a mere campaign? 

halloween a masked commodity? a drunken rebellion? 

ah. yes. of course 

the wizzzzzzzzzzzzards, the witches brujas, magos..... 

what are we thinking? doing? 
in rit chual? mocking, or engaging, participating? innovating 

or drunk, shallow, distant and confused? 

i wonder, our dear sanctuaries, our dances 

what has happened, where will we go 
to be the song to sing, to dance this new world into being 

au then tickly! @@@ 

this chance we have to change 

is all but gone... a dillusion of books and tapes and egoperformania 

why do we seek attention? the dress, the make-UP/ 
to transform into the unreal? 

transcend the body, the norm? 
knowing that somewhere at sometime, the gates will explode 
soon now 
and will there be beer, whiskey, radios, casual flare? 

oh the dance of the ritual.... 
dedication, ego.... who is the most powerful shaman of them all? dear mirror? 

the eye that truely sees. 

is the I that releases 
the expectation of being 
who u want or think you are 
in the midst of the flames 
we burn our flesh off 
the skin of false desires 

clinging to our bones ..... that damn material world 
fun . but . dry . 

bone dry. 

we seek 
truth. 

alas, is it there? 
this moment we all wait for? 
the future? 
the past 

we missed it. 
it wasandis NOWW 
not in 4 years, 50 years, or yesterday 
it is now 
the change 
the ritual 
showup 
integrity = authenticity 

no rules 
play bliss dance kiss 

alas, where are our hearts 
the atrophy 
the "rightreight" brain 
light glows and glows, we shiver in its midst 
wondering if.... 
we shall survive 

as the culture of denial fades like a ..... torn flag 

no longer 
the ritual we thought 
the preparation 
the glow 
the SHOW! 

do your best 
be impecable 
show up 
assume the best 
be majick 

dance joy 
breath love 

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh aum 

(there are hidden messages in here) 
(no one turned away for lack of fun) 
(no smoking anything but hashishishshishsis) 
(send money to your favorite ant) 
(and?) 
.... 
... 
.. 
. &lt;/p&gt;
