I wandered off the path one day. Great watcher turned, and I ran away.

I lost myself amongst some trees.

Birds and lizards paid no mind to me.

Sat atop the mushroom growths and drank the tea of forrest folk.

I did not mind, I sat alone until a hopping toad approached.

He spoke of things you'd not believe.

He whispered truths that tickled me.

I lost myself in fairy tales though truth be told, these tales were real.

The toad and I we shared a smoke and I lent my ears as for hours he spoke.

He bestowed his knowledge upon me, the women he'd known, the places he'd seen...

In the forrest where I found god, I licked it's back and finally saw

the place where all the good ones go, who births the rain what births the snow.

In the forrest where I found god I licked it's back and finally saw.

Everyone was tripping, the whole world was dancing and I thought

maybe I was tripping for the animals were singing and I thought

"I know this song! I know this song!"

and it's finally making sense now...

I've found a way to transcend the lies of men

and man found a way to destroy everything worth loving.

"C______ and I were talking along the same lines on friday.. We were talking about how everyone today is an "artist" and that Art has kind of lost its meaning.. It used to be all about you .. Your art was about and for you.. And other people appreciated that. Today.. Everyone is an artist and Art isnt for you anymore.. Its all about trying to please other people and get likes and upvotes and people to comment on your "art" It kills me. He said he feels like the people who are now 20 - 30 are in the same generation pretty much and the people younger than 20 are in their own.. And I totally see that. Its weird man. I don't know if I'm just getting more mature or the human collective is getting more and more immature by the generation.. Today Is like you were saying all about NOW. Right NOW. I need this NOW. My mom calls it the now generation.. I hate it. Like we were talking about the other day.. We as humans are moving way to fast. And I guess it makes sense.. Its sort of a reaction to our unnatural state.. I guess Humans are trying to make up for the lost time weve had .. We ARE supposed to live forever. Instead of taking our time and figuring out all the details and looking at them. ( probably my greatest qualm Is that people look at a few puzzle pieces and fill the rest of the picture in.. instead of taking the time to analyze.. ) I don't know just slow down everybody.

It makes life so much more enjoyable and valuable when you just calm the fuck down."

We just have to decide for ourselves what that meaning is.

However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.
