about

As Dr. Mystic and I have discussed, there’s a plethora of theories out there about making your life what it should be, and most of them hold to the belief that it’s important to see oneself vividly being where one wants to be in order to…be there. That’s oversimplified, of course. Basically, thoughts precede action and all that. Wanna be a fireman? See yourself fighting those fires, complete with coat, axe, badge, and boots, and see it often. Rock Star? Tighten up those pants, lad, and strap on a six-string in your mind.

Anyway, our cat Cosmo brought this down to earth. When he was about to leap onto something unfamiliar, he stared at it intensely, vibrated for a moment, and then jumped successfully to his destination. Kate and I called this the See It…Be It configuration. He saw where he wanted to be, and then he was there.

LYRICS

You can’t be anywhere
If you’re not already there

You’ve got to see where you want to be
If you want to be where you want to be
Coz

You can’t be anywhere
If you’re not already there

about

The Marble Tea Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey

Drawing mandalas and watching Captain Kangaroo...that's pretty much what it's like in here. I enjoy writing songs about my cats and cartoon insects, but I'm also fond of feeling up the tentacles that lead to the oneness of existence. That's the Marble Tea experience.

Recommended for fans of Jonathan Richman, Robyn Hitchcock, Jazz Butcher, Magnetic Fields, etc.
