You say,
"How can I find God?"
I say,
"The Friend is the lining in your pocket -
The curved pink wall in your belly -
Sober up,
Steady your aim,
Reach in,
Turn the Universe and
The Beautiful Rascal
Inside out."
You say,
"That sounds preposterous -
I really don't believe God is in there."
I say,
"Well then,
Why not try the Himalayas -
You could get naked
And pretend to be an exalted yogi
And eat bark and snow for forty years."
And you might think,
"Hey, Old Man,
Why don't you - go shovel
Snowflakes!"
