^^^^^^ ///// I was sitting high on the hill We had this LAND in the costal range near Santa Cruz // ( a castle for the ages ) /// In the meditative flow of absolute freedom /// Then the words of a song by THE BAND came into my mind I LOOKED OUT MY WINDOW TELL ME WHAT DID I SEE ? I SAW THE GOLDEN CALF POINTING BACK AT ME /// the place ( 300 acres ! ) Seemed but a postage stamp as I let my eyes Drift south along the range  to Mexico // North thru Canada ( no ! -- up to Alaska! ) Out  over the Pacific Up thru the Cosmos /::/ I got up and descended the hill Out to PCH 1 And hitch- hiked Berkeley and the smog And the  congestion And the people And I asked for forgiveness And that again I might be human And that the years might flow And that GOOD might come AND THEY SAID sure brother ! You're always welcome and here I am
