"You better free your mind instead."

Occupy Thoughts

"Striving is a worthwhile exercise, Daniel. But it is only
Exercise. Don't muddy it up with belief and certainly don't
Err by thinking there is any direct link from it to faith. Lonely
Kings have sought to channel the powerless and owned
Freedom as a veneer not as a result. You can't
Individualize and repeat. Living is not as simple as shampoo
Rinse instructions. I know we think we would like scant
Servitude to rules over freewill at times. But that is a moo
Too far and it leads straight to a living slaughterhouse of the soul.
Go out into the world and watch and listen, listen closely.
Open your ears and eyes so you can feel the goal
Do not reach for it, but know it is beside you. Cozily 
Sense it is yours and let it go. The key to the 
Kingdom is not a possession, it is a gift. Give a
Sigh for what you yearn for. Follow the breath it takes out the door"
