So...
a new day has dawned.
I can already see...
Its going to be "one of THOSE days".
The ones where I can't decide...
Who do I pretend to be?

Nothing is pressing.
Nothing required.
Nothing expected
A day where I have...free rein.
Yep, one of THOSE days.

Do I go over to the college
to sit by the river and play
soft magical tunes on the flute?
There, I am seen as
"spiritual" and "mystical".

Do I go to the "Little Opry"
or to the Country Store...
switching between guitar and mandolin,
and be a  "good ol' boy"?

Do I make a brief stop
at the old watering hole
where they still call me  "Brother"
and hope that they can buy me
drinks until I agree to wrangle
them a deal on a dusty '55 Pan
they say is  "going to waste"?

I could take the  "kids"  fishing...
Pretend I am  "Daddy"
or...Go shopping with  "the wife"
and be  "Honey".....

Its all glorious!
Whatever is decided....
is ALWAYS glorious.
Whatever I pretend to be...
is not pretense.
I am all of those things
and no - thing
But....on this one of "THOSE" days...
I think I will just close my eyes...
Let  "Mind" go away...
Fall into a deep dreamless sleep...
Where I am not pretending to be
anything  "here"  in  "Life"   or
"there"  in  "dream"
No  "identifying"
No  "seeing"
Just be the totally complete
all encompasing
empty space...
that
I AM

Uriah, Your a man that can wear many hats as they say. But we...your admirers don't see it as many hats but one hat that you wear well. Enjoyed as usual! :-)
