First Puff

No problem. No conscious thought. Just a desire to leave the current mode of thinking.

What did I do?

Oh yeah, you’re a fraud, a hypocrite. But it’s all right. That is one thing to embrace and to learn about.

That is the work of this lifetime. Whether it is better to live in all natural goodness or meet the people on a level that they understand?

One appears unattainable to the masses and the other is a sticky mess of a river to cross.

But again this is the work, the understanding, that this needs to be addressed.

Now it’s physical. The body needs to stretch. Every muscle wants your attention. Certain flexes must be done while you contemplate how your tone helps the chords grow.

Which leads to the music.

Pluck the tones on the guitar and harmonize with them. Play chord after chord, over and over in the hopes that your transition into the blessed regions of Godhood will finally occur.

And in that moment when you think it is finally happening, from another room you hear the melody of a gifted musician fill the airspace and realize how far away you are from that goal.
