no. 1161

 There's a boy in you about three 

Years old who hasn't learned a thing for thirty Thousand years. Sometimes it's a girl.

This child had to make up its mind


How to save you from death. He said things like:


"Stay home. Avoid elevators. Eat only elk."


You live with this child, but you don't know it.


You're in the office, yes, but live with this boy At night. He's uninformed, but he does want To save your life. And he has. Because of this boy You survived a lot. He's got six big ideas.


Five don't work. Right now he's repeating them to you.



Robert Bly, 'One Source of Bad Information’
