Particle Man

Last night during a Breathe for Change gathering, we were doing a guided meditation. I became aware of the particles moving in my body (most easily felt in the hands), and this song popped into my head:

Particle man, particle man
Doing the things a particle can
What's he like? It's not important
Particle man

Is he a dot, or is he a speck?
When he's underwater does he get wet?
Or does the water get him instead?
Nobody knows, Particle man

Triangle man, Triangle man
Triangle man hates particle man
They have a fight, Triangle wins
Triangle man

Universe man, Universe man
Size of the entire universe man
Usually kind to smaller man
Universe man

He's got a watch with a minute hand,
Millenium hand and an eon hand
When they meet it's a happy land
Powerful man, universe man

Person man, person man
Hit on the head with a frying pan
Lives his life in a garbage can
Person man

Is he depressed or is he a mess?
Does he feel totally worthless?
Who came up with person man?
Degraded man, person man

Triangle man, triangle man
Triangle man hates person man
They have a fight, triangle wins
Triangle man

What a classic! The leader of the meditation asked us for the two words that popped into our head to describe how we feel. I was torn between Particle Man and Second Chakra (which I think popped into my head because for the first time in eons I was sitting on the couch next to a hot, single dude), so I decided it was ok for me to have two phrases and used them both!

The only sad part is that none of the other people at the gathering had even ever heard this song...
