it’s all in what you believe

it’s all in what you believe if you can believe that all in what you believe some people know and some don’t

It’s delicate, always shifting and the strongest thing you know

All of you in all of that

Experts say you’re dying you have cancer in your lungs your skull your spine maybe your liver your lymph nodes whatever looking at pictures of pictures saying what they believe about these mysteries in you

It’s all in what you believe

Do you believe your will or them or both delicate shifting and absolute there’s a groove in you that you know is true a way past everything through all that is terrible and all that is wonderful

It’s all in what you believe
