XxxxX

so there I was in Maine thinking of my
old girl friend in San Francisco

( pregnant -- with kind of a untrustworthy boyfriend )

And a took the I Ching to ask it my fate

••

My new girl friend came over to see the tale unfold

••

DO NOT CROSS THE GREAT WATERS !

STAY PUT !

( over & over ! )

•

So I turned to her and said

I' M LEAVING !

she said

BUT IT SAID TO STAY !

I said

BUT I' M ALREADY THERE

MY SPIRIT IS THERE

ONLY MY BODY IS HERE

and I was gone

////

I saw her again 2 ( maybe 3 ) years later

•

We were laughing about our I Ching adventure

And then it hit me ... !

YOU WANTED ME TO GO , DIDN' T YOU !

//

OF COURSE

she said

//

I felt such love for this being

I started to cry

••

She said

I KNOW YOU

I KNEW YOU COULDN ' T ABANDON THIS GIRL

WHO YOU LOVED AND WHO LOVED YOU

IN HER HOUR OF NEED

( by the time I got back there the guy was already gone,
As I had anticipated )

She laughed at said :

THE WHOLE I CHING THING WAS THE FUNNIEST THING

I HAVE EVER SEEN !

//

//

The years come and go


The faces really always remain

For LOVE never changes

And

NOTHING OF VALUE IS EVER LOST

And the little boy ( who is now a man )

Is fine and good

and now it's time

To heal the world
