for our MOM: Breathe deeply, close your eyes, and observe how completely you can experience this moment.

JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "Your New Boyfriend" by Wilfred Soot; "(Now & Then There's) A Fool Such As I" by Hank Snow; "Ship of Fools" by Robert Plant] You have seven minutes to write an epic poem about a unified theory of consciousness and the history of the papacy concentrating especially but not exclusively on its social, political, economic, religious, and philosophical impact on Europe, Asia, America, and Africa. Be brief, concise, and specific. Be ready to recite your poem from memory in any ancient language (except Greek) to the 2000 people who will be waiting expectantly on the field outside your front door in eight minutes. 

[OR] Attempt to explain why people like the experience of making/being made a fool at least once a year.
