P.S. My mentor Barry Kornfeld when I began studying music and going out in the music world always said to me “hope for the best, expect the worst”.

This writing, particularly at this time in my life showed up to answer a lot of my thinking. You are safe. I hope I can soon be as enlightened. Bret you are a “Buddha” of sorts, not in its basic origin (you’ve lived too much “life” to be that), but in your wisdom. Thank you.

It’s possible you are already enlightened. You just don’t know it.

This is what happens when you have a psilocybin mushroom outlet for breakfast.

Hahaha, I worked in a restaurant in Santa Fe where we'd brew Peyote Tea for the break between lunch and dinner. Many other sweet excesses, but i won't elaborate.

Unfortunately

There is really ugly

And I don’t mean an ugly look

I mean an ugly vibe a thing that got loose

Like a contagioun

It wears a face

An ugly face

It is shrill

It steams like poop

That’s how ugly and

I’m having a tough time

Getting that shit out of my head. I mean

It’s everywhere

I can’t take a piss without hearing about ugly

Can’t wipe my ass without comparing uglies

And I’m a beautiful lad, trust me, I am.

I don’t like ugly but it’s the opposite of beautiful

And what can you do? That’s the way shit works: there

Isn’t one thing without the other. So if ugly has to exist

I better change myself to accommodate

Make room in my spirit for such crap cuz it isn’t going away

Any time soon.
