Detritus...
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead.....
Do not walk in front, for I may not follow,
Go over there, somewhere,
Speak your truth, quietly, and clearly,be open minded,
but do NOT lean forward, or your Brain may fall out,
Know that there will be good days, and there will be bad days,
and that this, is one of them...
Always dismantle and clean the dog before going to bed..
but avoid the use of spot remover,or you may never see him again,
" You are a Child of the universe",
it is a small world, unless you have to paint it!
Do NOT wish for everything, unless you have a REALLY big cupboard!
and do not worry about the pace of life,concern yourself only, with the sudden ending!!
Avoid loud, and agressive persons, Sleep well, if you cannot Sleep well, Practice, more often.....
Borrow from pessimists, they dont expect it back,
Remember, if you give a man a fish, he will eat, for a day....
teach him to fish, and he will sit in the boat, and drink himself stupid!
it is always darkest, before the Dawn, this is the time to steal your neighbours' newspaper,
be gentle with yourself, bear in mind, that depression is Anger, without enthusiasm.
and Good health, Merely the slowest way to die....
Never argue with a fool, for he is likely doing the same,
Know that , if at first you do not succeed, Skydiving is NOT a good Idea..
and that climbing has alot to do with the outcome of rain dance,
always remember that all is not lost,although I have not seen it for some time,
Be yourself, If you cannot be wiser? try to be older,
never stand between the dog, and the lamp post,
and never hit a man with glasses, alway use something larger, and heavier
and remember that some people are only alive, because it is illegal, to kill them.....
a closed mouth gathers no feet, and nature abhors a vacuum cleaner,
be cheerful and try to be happy, and remember that your sole purpose in life, is to serve as a warning to others...
Go Far..........
and start as soon as possible.........
(as recited, by Dave Cash)
Guide cats, for the blind......

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
