Time was apart the
wind to fly away
and I caught on him butter
why to stay oh why to stay
but he be gone for
all that I could say
for all that I could say
that he be gone for all that I
could say for all that I could say ...time.
I believe in,
believe in, believe in...
love...
And with your eyelids closed
continue to look upward...
Now take a deep
breath and hold it...
Hold, hold, ready,
three, exhale...
let your eyes relax and
let your body float.
Imagine yourself floating, floating
down, right through the chair.
As you concentrate
on the floating...
i'm going to concentrate
on your left arm and hand.
Your left hand will lift upward,
your left elbow bend...
your left forearm float
into an upright position.
Sometimes you may get a feeling of a
magnetic pole on the back of your hand.
Now your hand in this upright
position becomes for you a signal...
to enter a
state of meditation.
Are you for your
body or are you not?
Are you for living
or are you not?
Now of course if you're not
for living keep on smoking...
arrange for a cremation
and end it all in smoke.
But if the idea of living
is still exciting...
concentrate on this
feeling of floating
and at the same time listen
to these three critical points.
For you body
smoking is a poison.
You need your
body to live.
And you owe your body
this repsect and protection.
Then reflect on what this means
to you in a private sense,
and bring yourself out of this
state of concentration this way:
Roll up your eyes and do it now and
at one just let your eyes open slowly.
And when they're back in focus, slowly
make a fist with the hand that's up
And as you open
your fist slowly...
your usual sensation and control
returns you let it float down.
Now suppose one or two
hours have passed...
and you want to do the exercise
but you don't have privacy.
Here's the way you camoflage the
method, you make two changes:
First you close your eyelids
then roll your eyes up...
so that the eyeroll is private.
Second, instead of your hand coming
up like this, let it come up like this.
With a smile on you face,
and a heart to embrace,
everybody needs happiness,
everybody needs love.
With a hope and a sigh,
and a tear in your eye,
everybody needs happiness,
everybody needs love.
Give love with
all your heart...
-and it all comes...
-Thank you, next.
I would like you all to know
that i'm also an acrobat.
I h... I hear the cotton
woods whispering...
Thank you, next.
I wanna see the fields
of gold and green,,
I wanna see the things
i've never seen...

No you're wrong Mrs Tyne.
Corinna hasn't been
to the city today.
I don't understand.
speak to Corinna please?
Well it's just that I...
I thought that maybe she didn't
tell you that she went to the city or...
maybe Jeannie said
something to her and...
No I don't think so,
no i'm sure, no no, she didn't.
Thank you.
