Reading the last will and testament of mankind
brought about many emotions, feelings, and thoughts.
The most acute of which seemed to be that of overwhelming peace.
No. Not the peace that John Lennon and the hippies were all singing about
Nor the piece that pictures of pretty girls grindingly suggest
but the the peace that sometimes blindsides and overwhelms one in the places of great distress
the peace that slips from the fingers when you try to wield and hoist over your head
the peace that smacks us in the face with its obviousness...
to simple for our complexity
Sheoot!! I can't splain it!
just relax in yer heart and know that life is a good thing
whether you are having a good time of it or not.
and if you can't do that... theres always woman... and drugs and all kinds of nonsense

I love Dick! I haven't tried to explain Philip K. He was a genius for sure. His writing sort of sneaks into your head and remains tingling in your subconscious.
