Change

This song popped up in the shuffle on my iPod on the way to treatment this afternoon. Very fitting, I thought, given the topic of my meditation today. It's funny how differently I used to identify with this song when I was a high school stoner. I don't feel as phony listening to the message as I once did. Anyway, enjoy this throwback. Take from it whatever you want. Cheers.

P.S. Speaking of big phonies, RIP J.D. Salinger. I never did love The Catcher in the Rye as much as I (and others) thought I should, but maybe I'll revisit it and see if there's anything new I can take from it. Wouldn't surprise me. Anyway, he was a great, reluctant American literary icon, and I wish him peace eternal.
