“a walking contradiction
partly truth and partly fiction
taking every wrong direction
on his lonely way back home
and there’s a lot of wrong directions
on that lonesome way back home” 
– Kris Kristofferson, for Harry Dean Stanton in: “Harry Dean Stanton: Partly Fiction”

The interview,

Everything

just happens

nobody’s in charge

it’s one big,  fantasmagoria

Everything

is unfolding

perfectly nobody’s in charge

I’m not in charge,  I was

Everybody and Nobody’s

in charge of their lives

we think we are

but we’re not 

it’s all,   predestined,  all 

written, it’s all written

already

I’ll just go along

with the trip

Be still

and know

breathe and smile

every step 

peace is every step

it’s all Eastern stuff and

effortless

Beyond consciousness

“Where were you before you were born”? 

no

reincarnation

is another ego trip

a Buddhist saying

to think

you’re an

individual

with an individual,  soul 

with an individual,  identity

is not only an illusion

it’s insane

no answer to it

it all

just happens
