Lie Around and Get Zonked Out

Posted by Paul Reynolds on Mar 4, 2020 in Blog, Eastern Inspiration | Comments Off on Lie Around and Get Zonked Out

If we were smarter, it would have been enough
that just one great Prophet would have to make
a personal appearance on earth.

He or She probably could have easily fixed some
important things forever, written a book that
really gave us the total lowdown … and that no
right-wing fanatic dare edit.

God in human form, as some called the Avatar-or
World Teacher-seemingly could have easily
shown us some tasty herb cocktails
that could cure any illness humans would ever
know.

But looks like it does not work that way.

And what of us mules who like the harness? What
would the workhorses in this world do without
some imaginary cause-or situation-we felt
needed to be championed, or scotch-taped?

Heaven forbid, everyone might become happy
doing basically nothing
except to lie around and get zonked out on the
wonder of our being.

-Hafiz
