Santa, dear friends,
does not wear a red suit
fringed with white fur,
and black boots
and a broad black belt.
does not wear a red suit
fringed with white fur,
and black boots
and a broad black belt.
Not every night of the year.
Don't cry.
You're old enough to understand now.
He doesn't live at the North Pole —
although your heart's compass
points to him.
He lands on your rooftop
with seven tiny mind-spirits
and climbs down
the chimney of your dreams
and leaves his gifts
in your desire
to make children happy.
Not just with
an exchange of loot,
but with the joyous anticipation of
that oneness of sharing
which we all can represent
to each other.
The proof of Santa's quickness
is that no one ever catches him.
The proof of Santa's wisdom
is that all who find him
are better
for having known him.
His gifts are perfect.
I don't have to get
run over by his sleigh
to know the old elf is real.
He is real
in the hearts
of those who truly love him,
and through
his loving spirit's guiding,
our minds are his,
our hands his tinkers,
and so
does he visit
throughout the world
overnight.
Santa is real in spirit,
and his spirit
is spreading
because his real love,
his generous spirit —
beyond all
commerciality
and greed
and hype
. . .
is positively infectious.

WARNING !!!!! URGENT !!!!! WARNING !!!!!

WARNING !!!!! URGENT !!!!! WARNING !!!!!
!!!!! DANGER WILL ROBINSON !!!!!
WARNING !!!!! URGENT !!!!! WARNING !!!!!
Luciferian Rebellion is a virus in the local systems of the cosmic mind.
Initially passed when people download its creator's misguided appeals.
Has been known to bulk-erase whole planetary revealations repeatedly.
The technicians isolated the virus on outbreak, to protect nearby systems from infection, but because this virus originated in the primary system Lanonandek processing unit, a terrible number of subordinate units were affected.
The whole infected multi-CPU command unit has been replaced, and our planetary CPU units have been replaced, but the contagion affected the roots of our plantary mentation suite, and still, every day, all over the world, results in individual material-based processors failing to communicate with the network of fellowship.

This one bounces along except for that one contemplative half-verse.
1.
G7
I looked into the 'frigerator
G7
What did I see?
C7
There was nothin' in the 'fridge.
G7
No eats for me.
G7
I checked into the freezer
G7
And I felt a little lost
C7
There was nothin' in the freezer
G7
Fo' po' me to defrost.
D7
I opened up the cupboard
Dm7 C7
And it gave me a scare.
G7
Just like ol' Mother Hubbard my poor pantry was bare.
2.
G7
Hiked down to the garden
G7
Peered through the weeds
C7
There was nothin' growin' up
G7
Where I had planted my seeds.
D7
Opened up the liquor chest,
Dm7 C7
Well what would you think?
G7
There was only empty bottles. I couldn't even pour a drink.
3. [slower]
G7
That's when I sat down on the carpet
C6
Just to think of where I' been.
Gm7
I had only just sat down
G7
When the roof caved in
[resume speed]
D7
And I know you must have your good reasons my friend,
Dm7 C7
And there's no one to blame,
Gm Bb G7
But since you left me sugar cookie, things just ain't been the same.
