Like Silence After Noise, Or Cool, Clear

When You Discard Arrogance, Complexity, And A Few Other Things That Get In The Way, Sooner Or Later You Will Discover That Simple, Childlike, And Mysterious Secret Known To Those Of The Uncarved Block: Life Is Fun.

Within Each Of Us There Is An Owl, A Rabbit, And Eeyore, And A Pooh. For Too Long, We Have Chosen The Way Of Owl And Rabbit. Now, Like Eeyore, We Complain About The Results. But That Accomplishes Nothing. If We Are Smart, We Will Choose The Way Of Pooh. As If From Far Away, It Calls Us With The Voice Of A Child's Mind. It May Be Hard To Hear At Times, But It Is Important Just The Same, Because Without It, We Will Never Find Our Way Through The Forest.

Eeyore Religion Says That The Earth Isn't Worth Saving, Anyway, And That When It Comes To An End, The Faithful Will Be Transported Instantly To Heaven. No Problem. We'd Like To See Them Explain Things To Saint Peter At The Gate, When He Asks Them What They Did With The World That God Entrusted To Them. That Might Get A Bit Sticky.

Inner Nature, When Relied On, Cannot Be Fooled. But Many People Do Not Look At It Or Listen To It, And Consequently Do Not Understand Themselves Very Much. Having Little Understanding Of Themselves, They Have Little Respect For Themselves, And Are Therefore Easily Influenced By Others.

Life Itself, When Understood And Utilized For What It Is, Is Sweet.
