"See that Clock? That's my Clock. I'm having a very Psychedelic Experience."
Some stuff I recall my Mom saying. Been Dead over 20 years now. She told me all sorts of stuff, but those are some good ones. The clock thing is when She was about to drop Dead in the hospital.
I took the Clock off the wall and showed it to Her, back and front, explaining that it was a common battery-operated Wall Clock.
In retrospect, perhaps I should have read Her some verse of Scripture, but that was about all I could manage at the time.
She was attempting to explain Her near-Death comprehension of Psychedelia and Clocks, and I was trying to reassure Her that the tick-tock World would last another Day.
There was no reason for me to argue one way or another about the Nature of Time and Psychedelia, but I told Her not to worry.

A couple that come to mind
A couple that come to mind right way...
"Don't give people what they want, give 'em what they SHOULD want."
"It's OK. We learn as we go."
And one I came up with myself, that I remind myself of all the time...
"If they didn't get it, you didn't explain it right."
Oh, and the time my friend said, "You really need to go see the Grateful Dead. It's a whole different thing when you're in the room."
THAT was good advise.

My oldest brother Bob (RIP)
My oldest brother Bob (RIP) came over to my place at 8 am on a Saturday when I was a late teenager and saw Greg and I sleeping off a night of taking LSD.
He got us up and gave us a lecture of wasting away a beautiful Saturday just because we nibbled on a lil candy the night before.
His advice is to at least double up if not tipple up and make it the best Saturday ever.
We did as told and it did turn out to be a humdinger of a day.
To this day I never waste a Saturday sleeoing it off, If we indulge on a Friday make sure Saturday and Sunday is open for fun and recovery.
