LIFE IS GOOD

I find the "street" a very rewarding place. I can't say precisely when it occurred to me that the "street" was bountiful, but at some point it happened: The Epiphany. The "street" is a "way" by which blessings are provided to those with "eyes to see." I have found folding money on the "street." Maybe a five dollar bill and a few ones. The cash is RIGHT THERE. I need only reach down to pick it up. This is so excellent! Ever since the moment when I realised that something special had just occurred, I have received my "allowance" from the "street." I have never worked in my life. Why work when the "street" provides for all my needs? Dimes and quarters are strewn about the "street" with a generosity that truly moves me. The "street" provides me with bus and subway fares. The "street" feeds me--not after the unwholesome diets of the "bigwigs"--but with the Earth's true bounty. I eat carrots, nuts, berries, milk, eggs, and a variety of green "veggies." I am not married. I have no children. Therefore, I am free to adopt nature and wander this Earth, taking care of my "adoptive children." The "street" offers me my "social security." It is true that a cashless and changeless world would alter my lifestyle. Yet, there have always been "hobos" who have always found a way to "make it." So, I keep my eye lowered--not due to the vanity of false modesty--but to glean from the fields ("street") my daily needs. Life is good!
