...most anything the mainstream doesn't notice;discards;glosses over;eschews as marginal;moralizes over too much; requires too much thought; comes from a foreign mind or cultural viewpoint...
Those with a WIDE view.......
My brightest star's My inner light, let it guide me
Experience and innocence, bleed inside me
Hallucinogens can open me, or untie me
I drift in inner space, free of time
I find a higher state of grace, in my mind
I'm beautiful, I wasn't born to follow
I live just for today, don't care about tomorrow
What i've got in my head, you can't buy, steal or borrow
I believe in live and let live
I believe you get what you give
I've glimpsed, I have tasted, fantastical places
My soul's an oasis, higher than the sun
I'm higher than the sun
