After decades of Spiritual adventurism our hero comes to understand that although what one's religious beliefs are is extremely important, personally, as such believes greatly influence our own perceived experience such as expecting to go to a Heaven or a Hell, ultimately the TRUTH is the TRUTH. It may be a arduous journey having to navigate through our own preconceived beliefs but eventually what will be, will be. Eventually the monk sitting on a mountain top contemplating his own navel will, if he does in fact achieve self realization, realize that life is not meant to be spent on a mountain top. As bleak, dangerous, depressing, fruitless and meaningless life may appear at times, it's supposed to be experienced in its fullness. The meaning of life, what the reason is for virtually ANYTHING that happens to us, good or bad, is for one reason; TO SEE WHAT WE'LL DO. Our hero's grand daughter is right. We're like characters in a video game. We are ultimately here to play the game, to have the experience that is our life, NOT to figure out how the game is programed or how the computer works. This song represents the state of mind of someone who has learned that eventually the journey leads to a destination and that destination is to be fully focused in the HERE and NOW. It is every day reality.

DRAWINGS FROM MY MIND
It's dark and lonely here
Smoke another cigarette
Can't believe my ears
Another loss, that's what I get
Now you know my fears
Drawings from my mind
Baby what a blow
TV turns me on at night
Ache from head to toe
Will I ever see the light
Now you know my woes
Drawings from my mind
Can't forget my past
Smoke another cigarette
Love will never last
No one left to heavy pet
Maybe I should fast
Drawings from my mind
