393. A great lesson

I always get a great lesson
From my musical capacity.
It takes all my pride out of me.

I always get a great lesson
From my ceaseless barking.
It takes all my pride out of me.

    But
My ever-compassionate Lord,
Out of His infinite Bounty,
Consoles me:
“My son, in your past incarnation
You were a musician of the highest magnitude.
Your soul does not want to eat the same fruit again.
My son, this is not your last incarnation.
I assure you, in your
Next incarnation, without fail,
You will turn over a new leaf.”
