There’s something lonely

About a harmonica at night

No wonder I am lonely

if the universe

Is me

Ah ... Excellent. Impossible why questions that can only be experienced. Reminds me of listening to Alan Watts and finally feeling like someone was telling me the truth.

Thanks, Jed. I've felt the same way listening to Alan Watts. And this is no doubt a gloss on that.

Watts is one of my favorites, though I am really a Zen/Methodist at heart.

My wife is also a Capricorn — Dec 31. My daughter, however, is further on in November and thus a Sagittarius. But speaking of Scorpios — both my parents.
