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
