I did have a magical poem to say in New York and Brooklyn and even way back in college, and it worked for sleep and all kinds of survival, to sum it up you can relax, you can love yourself, you can figure yourself, and accept everything, exactly the way it is JUST LIKE THIS, Not after it resolves or improves, but during it. Not with faith but logic, believing in the science of unconditional love. I repeated that to get through a lot of anxious hours.

does it still work when the problems spread out? Some information got in- about the world- about us and we’re guilty as carnivores eating carcasses and we’re done for, and we did it And we could stop it, but we don’t We say we can’t and someone laughs maniacally and church music starts

It still works It will work in any setting that you need to accept

because even if i run across that border while shots ring out, and i make it, somehow i have to leave people behind and then i have to go back for them so there’s no use waiting until the trouble’s passed to relax, better to sleep here, in the trenches, meter by meter This plan has the longest range, the most control, but there’s nothing else now, at all

I hate to kill in the name of people already elimated but here we are
