ALWAYS RIGHT, ALONE TONIGHT.
I HAD a friend
who was
The President
of THAT Organization.
Key word: HAD
Since I turned 100,
I just turn off my ears
when anyone
insists that THEY
are right.
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA
I CAN’T HEAR YOU!
OK,
I’m one of 3 kids,
to a Dad that was one of 8 kids,
a Mom who was one of 2 kids,
who lived in one neighborhood,
one of a million neighborhoods,
in one goddamn city,
in one of fifty-fucking states,
in one measly country
on one planet in the Universe.
Why would my lame-NO-ass
think that I know
what anyone else
has to do to
Stay Whole?
Think about it.
I know I’m special,
but not THAT special !!!
This is really a freeing concept,
it frees us up to change,
to grow,
to make mistakes,
to start over,
to make a game
out of living,
to make a living
out of the game.
The most difficult,
yet necessary line
I had to draw as a parent,
was one that let my daughter know
that she is absolutely number one,
without a doubt,
while simultaneously letting her know
that she is one in a katrillion.
You aren’t right.
None of us are right.
You are just keeping your balance.
We are all just keeping our balance.
All we can do is observe life,
listen to what others have to say,
feel the flow,
and do what we have to do
to stay whole.
To do otherwise,
THAT is not right,
THAT is just plain
WRONG.
