GENRE
Dying leaves speak to me
They say "we're not so different"
Hanging free, awaiting defeat
I wonder who's more anxious
Will i get worse the more you know me?
Will you regret all the time you
Spent with me, spitting seeds?
You know, we're not so different
Cherish these memories
They seem to be impatient
Dime the heat to a thousand degrees
I wanna burn just like them
Will you get tired of talking to me?
Will you regret all the time you
Spent with me, losing sleep?
You know, we're not so different
Will i get worse the more you know me?
Will you regret all the time you spent with me?
Will i get worse the more you know me?
Will you regret all the time you spent with me?
(Alan Watts)
And so, we are always in a dither of doubt as to whether we are behaving the right way, doing the right thing, and so on and so forth
And lack a certain kind of self-confidence
And if you see you lack self-confidence, you will make mistakes through sheer fumbling
If you do have self-confidence, you may carry-get away with doing entirely the wrong thing
The thing that you have to understand is this...
You have to regard yourself as a cloud
Because, you see, clouds never make mistakes
Did you ever see a cloud that was mis-shapened?
Did you ever see a badly designed wave?
No, they always do the right thing
Now, so, as a matter-of-fact, do we, because we are natural beings, just like clouds and waves, only we have complicated games which cause us to doubt ourselves
But, if you will treat yourself for a while as a cloud... a wave... and realize that you can't make a mistake, whatever you do...
Because even if you do something that seems to be totally disastrous, it'll all come out in the wash somehow or other
But this is the middle way of knowing it has nothing to with your decision to do this or not
Whether you decide that you can't make a mistake, or whether you don't decide if it's true anyway: that you are like cloud and water
