6270. IF I COULD CHANGE MY MIND

IF I COULD CHANGE MY MIND

If I could change my mind about this place I'm

in, I'd make it a little bigger  -  a more broad

universe of the wishes and dreams that come 

true with only a thought. All that peace, love and

happiness stuff, yeah, that would be Ok too.

But I'm not talking about that.

-

What I'm getting at is Truth and Being  -  the

way a city street feels when it stares you in the

face, the look in the eyes of a stranger when he's

asking for help. I understand those feelings, but

I want the barriers lifted. I want, when I reach

out a hand, for the fabric of the world to change.

-

I want goodness and mercy and mirth at the hospital

bedside while we all go down with the ship. I want

Peace in the eyes of the foolish clown who calls

himself a 'warrior'. That's 'killer for pay' all the

same, that's just the unthinking prattle of 

a man with no brain.

-

I want doors to open upon command, and stretch out

to the road of universal Man and universal Being,

of the silent love in every heart for each day's

sunrise and setting. For each flower and bloom,

each nettle and thorn. Every moment that exists

and ever moment that is born. New is

the world once more.

-

If I could change my mind, like this, as I

said  -  I would do something about it,

and more.
