it's about a love song to myself, and a love song to the universe, kind of like the way that Song of Solomon consists of love songs to God or like the way Sufi poems are erotic love songs to God, I kind of wanted something like that.

By all odds, earliest man, so naked to the elements and to deadly enemies, should have existed in a state of constant shock. We find him instead the only lighthearted being in a deadly serious universe. . . . He alone, with childish carelessness, tinkered and played, and exerted himself more in the pursuit of superfluities than of necessities.

Dear Lord, grant me the grace of wonder. Surprise me, amaze me, awe me in every crevice of your universe. Each day enrapture me with your marvelous things without number. . . . I do not ask to see the reason for it all: I ask only to share the wonder of it all.

Meditate, Visualize and Create your own reality and the universe will simply reflect back to you.
I feel that all you can do is give it your absolute best with whatever gifts the universe has given you. And if you make it in some way that other people can recognize, that's fine. But even if you don't quote-unquote make it, you're fine, if you've given it your whole heart and soul. You're totally in sync with your purpose and with the universe. And that's fine.
The universe runs on a fundamental and oh-so-wonderful principle. . . when you get really clear and honest about what you want, everything in the universe conspires to help you get it.
