Tripping On Love

Quick, quick
Put down what you're doing and follow me
Through the opening magical door
Down this hallway
To the other side of our dreams, our hopes, and fears
Quickly
Before the doorway disappears

We can climb a mountain and walk on the ridge
We can stroll through the forest or wherever you wish
Let's go to someplace special, maybe sit by a stream
Find a wonderful place to awake in our dream
           Let our egos melt away
           It's unnecessary to explain
           The unveiling of joy
           The revealing of pain
           Perceiving the interconnectedness of life
           Listening, resonating
           Living on a higher vibratory plane...

                      Who am I?
                      What is happening?
                      Why are we here?
                      A consciousness is speaking
                      To me through everything...

           I'm in a strangely familiar place
           I can hear small things far away
           I...I...I...am expanding...to we
           Feel empathic with bushes and trees
           Feel the spirits which inhabit the land
           Speak with the birds and the bees...

Here, smoke this.  It'll mellow you out.
Thank-you.  I still don't understand
Except... that everything's love
Love is why we're here
Love is who we are
Love is what's happening- this is so weird...

All in all it's a beautiful dance
And we are very fortunate
And it does make sense
It sounds stupid to say it again, and again, but
Love
No matter what your trip
Is the essential ingredient.

The sky is so magical
So perfect the day
I am smoking this herb
Giving thanks and praise
Satisfied to be where and who I am
           And henceforth...
           Will seek every way I can
           To love you and spread love through this land.
Love is who we are...
Here... smoke this, it'll mellow you out...
