cause my facial expression

has changed so drastically...

So I try to play with it like

what it looked like before,

so it wasn't so...

Still I am not listening,

cause I am worried about

my facial expression

and what that's looking like.

Then I totally go off again, like:

Is it everybody I talk to, is everybody

boring, or is it me, do I have ADD?

If so, I'm sure there

is some kind of clinic,

or some place I could

go get tested for that...

to find our for sure, but who's got

that kind of time and patience to...

call them up and make an appointment

and find out where they're located,

drive down there and take a test...

sit around and find out the answer...

I know I have ADD,

cause I don't have the patience

to go and find out, if I have ADD.

It's like people,

who take Ginkgo Biloba every day.

If you can remember to take it

every day, you DON'T NEED IT!

So anyway... so now I am back

and there is that space...

that silence...

they've clearly finished talking...

And you've no idea, what they said...

So you have to do that fake-out thing...

That is not good enough,

they're still kinda staring at ya...

Do, what I do, if I can help you out,

I am pleased to do it,

cause I know,

it's an awkward situation for all of us...

I always say something

about Gloria Estephan...

I'm telling ya, it works,

if you commit to it...

She can work in any conversation

you can possibly...

It could be like: "Whats that got to do

with copper plumbing?"

And you're like:
"Gloria Estephan is

the copper plumbing of the music industry. "

I mean, look at her, she's beautiful,

durable, reliable, indestructible.

Look, how she came back

after that bus accident,

are you gonna debate me on this?

And do that, that brings it on home...

I think people talk to much anyway...

talk, talk, talk...

Sometimes people're talking and

in my mind I'm like: "Shut up, shut up,... "

"bla, bla, bla... "

Right?

People are sc... alright...

Now you're with me...

People are scared of silence...

Aren't they? You find silence,

people always have to fill it with st.

The world is so full of noise.

It is so hard to find silence.

I believe that silence is golden.

It is the one thing I hold on to.

It is where all of our answers are.

It is, where our truth is, our passion,...

our path,... our everything.

All of the answers are in silence,

if you can find it.

I was outside not too long ago,

I tried to meditate.

I closed my eyes.

And I got to that still place,...

that everybody talks about.

Just for a moment, but I was there.

And the first message that I got...

so strongly and so clear was...

we are all one...

Every living thing,
