About 25 years ago in the back seat of a taxi, stuck to the glass in front of me was this chant written out on a bumper sticker with the phonetic spelling. In the several minutes it took to get where I was going I learned it, not knowing what it was or what it meant. It sounded good in my head.

I still chant this to myself and sometimes out loud. It feels good.

Thanks for sharing and reminding me.
