    Ah, yes, the lure of the shiny stuff, consumerism,
the cheap thrill, all a lure pulling ones attention so
far away from ones heart, ones own consciousness, and
all the benefits of a quality life, that the attention
is locked, like a deer in headlights upon something
out-there, so forgetful that in-here, we can dance,
the deer can run, we can avoid this...  Even just
sitting in quiet, this so simple effort, reveals this
so simple ultimate. 

thanks guys.

night,
