Nightime Revelations

After a day of mixed hopes and disappointments I lay down upon my old mattress and watch the television station where thy play new age music and offer poignant quotes sometimes they have Zen koans Tonight I saw words from Allan Watts and Yoko Ono there is nothing wrong with being a New Age person Beautiful images on this channel I just viewed clouds around a mountainside Then a quote from Helen Keller - that remarkable woman I will drift off into a pleasant sleep as I keep the channel on Enough of horrific news I's find peace and wisdom here in my home in New York's Lower East Side

I don't watch those kinds of stations but you are such a metropolitan person, Matt. What a cool life you lead there in NYC.

Wonderful encapsulation of working city life, Matthew! Some of our most inspiring thoughts come as nighttime revelations...
