why not?

why not
wake up to now
right now

why not
laugh at all the
things you
did wrong
some other time

why not
be awake to waking
up from moments and days
and hours of
not being awake

why not
let happiness be
your guide

are you happy?
and not doing something
stupid?
then you are living life
in tune
with you.

even better:
if you are not happy,
you are believing
a story
about how What Is
should be different.

you could be right
that What Is
of this or that in
the world
could be better

and right now
this instant
how can
they be anything
but what they are

and will our feeling crappy
right
now
help
whatever in the world
could be better

it's
all
the is it true
stuff

is it true
i should feel bad
right now
about......

and what is my pile of
stuff and feelings
and actions
when i believe
whatever is setting off the feeling bad

and what
would i be
who
would i be
without that thought, story, belief
myth

and so on

this is the Katie work
you probably know

la
la

and why
not
be happy
as an ongoing
way of living

love

is the ocean
that doesn't have to be lusted
for
tried out for
achieved
any of that shit

love is
just the dusty
old road
that is left
when the non-sense
is not believed in

what's non-sense
most of our thinking

is that true?
heck if i know

is life good.
why not?
