Watching your child be born. Losing faith in your parents' religion. Being told of your mother's death. Making the decision to get married. Being confronted by your own prejudices. Discovering the universe within.
Repeat after me Simon cannot see Simon says you’re blue You know it’s all too true Polly want a cracker Pusher and a hacker Victor tried to flee America at sea Crown a hula halo Teach the parrot Calo Sundays with a host Become the Holy Ghost Then open up the sky So Félicité can die
I grew up in Christian fundamentalism, went to hell, came back, became a Presbyterian then a Buddhist Presbyterian, and now I'm a profane Presbyterian Zen Taoist -- not that I'm into labels or anything. Here's what I've learned so far: The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

Repeat after me
Simon cannot see
Simon says you’re blue
You know it’s all too true
Polly want a cracker
Pusher and a hacker
Victor tried to flee
America at sea
Crown a hula halo
Teach the parrot Calo
Sundays with a host
Become the Holy Ghost
Then open up the sky
So Félicité can die
