Immortal

Once again the soulheart bird

began to beat in ribb-ed cage

For God wanted him to make

another entrance on world stage





(to B W)

(Kabir compares the soul

in the body to a bird

in a cage)

(Neem Karoli Baba calls

the body central jail

THANKSGIVING HORROR STORY
                 from Pegeen Fitzgerald, for many decades
                 a host on WOR of NY:

                 When I was little my family went out to
                  select a turkey to kill for Thanksgiving..
                 the man knifed the little turkey.. and
                 plucked all her feathers out.. and then
                 stuck her in the freezer.

                 Three hours later we went to the freezer
                 to get her out and cook her..
                 she was still alive... and so we adopted
                 her as a pet.. but kept her inside because
                 her feathers never grew back.

                 (Pegeen became a vegetarian as a result
                 of the experience.. and refused ads on
                 her show which exploited animals)
