The following is something I was given at Orcas Island one year.  If you
already have it, I apologize, if not I hope it gives you a smile.

     THOU SHALT LIGHTEN UP

So, you've dabbled in the occult, burned candles gave up sex,
You've traveled to Sedona to visit the vortex.
     You've meditated, visualized affirmed with love and grace,
     You've forgiven all your irritants 'till you're blue in the face.
You've been est-ed and you've tested tarot and astrology,
You've met your guides from the other side and did past-life therapy.
     So, you've been Rolfed and hypnotized, there's nothing you've avoided,
     You've tried acupuncture, heavy breathing, been even Sigmond Freuded.
You've chanted mantras and you've om'ed and journeyed near and far,
You've seen many of the channels and taken every seminar.
     You've floated in a tank and have gone the psychic route,
     You've had your cards and wrinkles read, did Primal Scream to shout.
You burn incense in the afternoon, sometimes reflex your feet,
You've become a vegetarian and very seldom cheat.
     You gave up salt and sugar and your diets really pure,
     Although at times you still get gas, just why you are not sure.
You drink herb tee until you see the best in all, at last,
Your Kundalini's straightened and no longer at half mast.
     You've had your aura cleaned and your Chakras lubed and tuned,
     You've seen E.T. at least four times and two times for Cocoon.
You go to sleep with crystals and you wake up with a tape,
That subliminally instructs you, to get your mind in shape.
     You've gone here and there and everywhere, tried everything you know,
     The path that's called ENLIGHTENMENT is such a busy show.
So much to do and see and know, there are so many places,
For you to go so you are sure you cover all the bases.
     But after all that's said and done and all the things you tried,
     There is a truth that you should know, while you are on your ride.
The light you see that seems to be, coming from things you do,
Is only as bright as is the light that radiates from you.
