Sometimes I Really Want To Believe In

I Meet A Third Man He's An Old Man He Trips In The Street He Falls And I Help Him Up, Walk Him To The Curb. He Shakes My Hand Says Keep The Faith, Young Man. I Ask Him What He Means, He Says Keep Running And Don't Let Them Catch You.

My Life Has Been Like All The Lives, Long And Hard And Full Of Sadness And Confusion And Horror, A Frightening, Difficult Dream Punctuated By Brief Moments Of Joy. And As Is The Case With All People's Lives, The Moments Of Joy Are Never Often Enough And Never Long Enough.

She Made Me Feel Better Than I Have Ever Felt, Better Than I Imagined I Could Feel, And It Scared Me, It Scared Me To The Point Of Paralysis.

Pain Is The Feeling. Suffering Is The Effect The Pain Inflicts. If One Can Endure Pain, One Can Live Without Suffering. If One Can Withstand Pain, One Can Withstand Anything. If One Can Learn To Control Pain, One Can Learn To Control Oneself.

Practice Not Wanting, Desiring, Judging, Doing, Fighting, Knowing. Practice Just Being. Everything Will Fall Into Place.
