If you go to
a fortune teller,
I wish you
the best of luck
But
if you go to
Seven/Eleven
and
buy a lottery ticket,
you save a lot of time
and money
_
If you go to
church/temple/synagogue
and pray for
a deceased parent,
you are a perfectly
normal person
and I am jealous
_
However,
if you have a seance
with a psychic
or seer
to get in touch
with
a deceased parent,
you have my pity
because you would
have the same
success rate
as stopping a stranger
on the street
and asking for
the whereabouts of
mommy or daddy
::
But
if you lock yourself
in a room with a picture
of that deceased parent
and meditate on it
for hours
...
BINGO
Because
that image goes straight
to your soul,
where it has been
for as long as needed
to find it
Your soul,
your innermost feelings,
and your heart
are all you need
to high-five
anyone
who has said
goodbye
to their earthly coil
