“Praise the rain; the seagull dive The curl of plant, the raven talk— Praise the hurt, the house slack The stand of trees, the dignity— Praise the dark, the moon cradle The sky fall, the bear sleep— Praise the mist, the warrior name The earth eclipse, the fired leap— Praise the backwards, upward sky The baby cry, the spirit food— Praise canoe, the fish rush The hole for frog, the upside-down— Praise the day, the cloud cup The mind flat, forget it all— Praise crazy. Praise sad. Praise the path on which we're led. Praise the roads on earth and water. Praise the eater and the eaten. Praise beginnings; praise the end. Praise the song and praise the singer. Praise the rain; it brings more rain. Praise the rain; it brings more rain.”

“The selfishness makes for a million "butts and farts" running around, convinced they'll never be happy unless they get precisely what they want. I don't know whether it's what personal freedom persuades us to think we need or it's just because, with so many things around us so readily available, like information and technology, we have developed an addition to instant gratification. Either way, we're all a bunch of spoiled brats wandering th galactic pebble, yelling and arguing when we don't get what we want. LIFE'S NOT THE INTERNET, FUCKHOLES!”
