white buffalo baby
bringing peace to the world
white buffalo baby
singing rock n roll
white buffalo baby
answering the prophecy
in this emergency state
of primal urgency

white buffalo baby
your daddy is praying
even when he doesn't know
what words to be saying
white buffalo baby
the second chance miracle
riding the ferris wheel
down to a carousel

white buffalo baby
where are you hiding?
i close my eyes and i see you
on the great plains riding
your momma behind the wheel
she's doing the driving
white buffalo baby
when will you be arriving?

i woke up to 'hurdy gurdy man' on my itunes this morning.

i rescued a small mouse that was sitting in my bathroom this morning . i wasn't even sure he was alive until i got him in the peanut butter jar. then his little tail started moving. i think maybe he was in shock. cold be the kitty, siren, had tortured hi into stillness. i took him outside and ran the hose by the young peach tree and turned over the jar. the little mouse drank some of the water, ate some peanut butter and ran off, seeming to be just fine.

a few hours later. i went to the laundromat where i bumped into kenny, dana & tracey. dana & tracey were about to drive kenny to town to do some shopping. i said i need to go to town, too, and i need to keep my motor running, having just gotten a jumpstart from fred. why don't we all go in my truck? so, i had to put my seats up in the back to fit everybody.
just when i did, a small rat jumped out of my backseat, brushing against me as he flew out of there. he ran around for a minute, then off across the field. he had been nesting in my truck.

tracey said it meant that somethng bad was leaving my life. then, we went to town. kenny & i went in to big lots and tracey found a cd my friend johnny had sent to me & put it in, to track # 8. it was donovan doing a 'live' version of 'hurdy gurdy man' - with an extra verse by george harrison.

"When the truth gets buried deep, beneath a thousand years of sleep, time demands a turn around, and once again the truth is found".

tracey hadn't heard that verse in 13 years & she was very happy when she realized it was the version where donovan explains the circumstances - it was written while on retreat at mahareshi mahesh yogi's in rishikesh ('four beatles, one beach boy & me'...) - and sings the 'lost' verse.
