Racing Toward Nirvana!

Racing Toward Nirvana

I’m supposed to be cleaning out stuff,

Throwing away 5 THINGS every day!

But now I’m come upon this sketch for a Musical,

 Racing Toward Nirvana!

This would’ve been back in the 80’s

New Age Resurgence

The Harmonic Convergence

Remember that? 

I see I've written on the stage set sketch,

Kundalini, Reflexology,

Brain Tuning, $10, Past Life Regressions

Holographic Breathwork.

I learned a lot then, took to some of it,

tossed out the rest.

I consider myself a HEALTHY SKEPTIC

And believe the body has it’s own wisdom

and wants to heal itself.

Here are some books I’ve yet to throw or give away.

Writing this Blog is like chronicling my life,

so maybe I can say Good-bye to an era

& put them in the Library Book Sale.

But, let me linger a little longer

back in the 80’s. . .

I pictured a musical in which we've

created a great new loving, healing energy as the Finale.

But first I'd written this humorous Opening Song.

RACING TOWARD NIRVANA!

Channeling messages from past lives regressed,

A crystal, a charkra, a con-nect-ed-ness,

Dreamers and healers and questors and feelers,

We’re Racing Toward Nirvana.

We go with the flow and follow our bliss

A mantra, or tantra or self-analysis,

If we can buy it, we’ll run out and try it,

We’re Racing Toward Nirvana.

Metaphysics and psychic readings,

Green and yellow auras,

Guided visualizations

None of these bore us!

Brown rice and tofu and macrobiotics,

We’re healthy holistically, enlightened neurotics,

Sufi’s and swami’s and guru’s and llami’s,

We’re Racing Toward Nirvana.

A bad Tarot reading will find us needing,

To consult with an astrologer,

She says, “You shouldn’t have paid,

Mercury’s in retrograde!”

We’re Racing Toward Nirvana.

Metaphysics . . . .chorus, repeat

We sample the wares at psychic fairs,

Pisces and Libras and Capricorns,

We’ll drink a toast of herbal tea to your health,

We’re Racing Toward Nirvana,

Yes, We’re Racing Toward,

We’re Racing Toward,

We’re Racing Toward Nir - va - na!

There is some poetry written

in that same old yellow legal pad

I see I had copied out words

from the Tao . . .

I was just turning 5O then,

A lot of growing and consciousness raising

discovering things

illusions breaking apart

 evolving into  . . .

Maybe that’ll be the next blog . . .

stay tuned . . .
