Juno, the man who lives across the bay, is my very good friend and my trusted confidant. He is my muse, and he is a fool.

He is not always right, as most fools aren't. Fools are very good at identifying the obvious that we all so commonly fail to notice in our daily lives. It is the not so obvious that eludes him.

He is the only person who knows all of the events in my life. He is my Fire Walk With Me. He amazes me every day. I will eventually be just like him. Perhaps I will be him.

The fool has taught me everything that I need to know. 13 ways. Within one, you will find these things. Between one and two others, all are the same, and all ways lead to the same end. Patience is a virtue, as well as a curse. Calmness... This is a key.

So many ways, so many ways, so much room for error, yet the fool does not care. What is a mistake to the fool? Why would he ever use a spellchecker?

Juno, the man who lives across the bay, is my very good friend. In him, all things are clear. So why didn't I call him?

The sky has grown dark, and the moon has quaked in fear, and here I sit, under the vapor glow of the twin light. All is gone away, and soon, I will sleep, and all will be well with the world.

Rember these things, Juno, the man who lives across the bay, said to me one Sunday afternoon. Be free to yourself, and the heart of the world will follow. Be true to yourself, and the doors will open before you. Be kind to yourself, and an orchid will be laid at your feet. Be aware of yourself, and the earth will tremble with each step.

The only true power is knowing that everything is a reflection, and in knowing the truth, you will finally know yourself. The dagger is sharp if you hold it wrong, and the sword is a hard lesson to swallow.

But when you finally stumble upon the platter of life, you will see that there is nothing to see here. True sight is blind, and the mothers milk is the only meal that will satisfy you in the end.

So, stay the path, and don't watch your step. Remember to keep one thing up in the air at all times. The coyote was right, when he didn't pay attention.

Time to go, said Juno, the man who lives across the bay.
