everything you learn you’ll forget
so the master
so why should i be wrecking my brain
maybe i shouldn’t
everything you have you’ll lose
so the master
so why should i be collecting things
maybe i shouldn’t
even the ‘you’ you know will pass
so the master
so why should i be obsessing about me
maybe i shouldn’t
it’s all in the soup
so the master

Master Thaur: Nobody gets impermanence. Greedy stupid fuckers they are. And scared shitless. Weasels.
The Gnostic Wanderer: Is yesterday’s soup today’s soup still?
Tonó: Like that time we were going to a gig and we were already high and we got there early and there was this support band with the weird name and that made us curious and so I wrote their name on my hand and then we kind of forgot about it but then went to the party and there was that girl who played bass in the band and we totally felt like we had to ask her what “Wei Wu Wei” meant. And she was so cool and lovely about it!
Macrocosmic: Yeah, also because first you made her smile with their name on your hand! And we talked about music and stuff and I praised her for bringing the double bass on stage because I found that edgy punk jazz cool and she went “oh yeah, my inspiration is Ali of Red Snapper” and I was like “wait… who… Tonó, write that on your other hand!” and then we burst out laughing. Good times, still have a gig on tape. Can’t play it though, got no more cassette player! So yeah, it’s true, music is the perfect Wu Wei medium. It remains in the now.
The Gnostic Wanderer: Is the soup in your mind the soup in the bowl?
Master Thaur: Got to let them be miserable – can’t do the living for others.
The Gnostic Wanderer: Do you make the soup or does the soup make you?
Little Goddess: It’s soup all the same. It’s tasty soup. It’s our soup.
