What are you addicted to?

Many Cycles Spinning
All left by the way-side
One time or another
Save The One
that Pulses Endlessly
that Beats the Heart
that Saved my Life

The Want of Wisdom




It is, i suppose, an addiction.

Some Definitions there of:

**a state of being dependent on a certain substance, which is harmful or dangerous for the physical or mental health of the person, for his social well-being and economical functioning of the subject

**A behavioral syndrome characterized by the repeated, compulsive seeking or use of a substance despite adverse social, psychological, and/or physical consequences, and a need for an increased amount of the substance, as time goes on, to achieve the same effect. ...

**A behavioral pattern characterized by compulsion, loss of control, and continued repetition of a behavior or activity spite of adverse consequences.


These seem to fit.

I am dependent on a substance (Love, Elan Vital, Cosmic Energy), which has, at times, been detrimental to my physical and mental health (i've gone through fastings that may have pushed the envelope a bit; and the feeling of insanity doesn't, seemingly, help mental health much).

I Seek this substance despite the probable social complications it brings e.g. difficulty communicating, feelings of isolation- of paranoia, having to be very careful what one says etc.

and I keep coming (& going) back for more, even with all that!!

but Really,

i can't complain.

Doest the foot complain of the shoe on a rocky road?

Doest the hand complain of the glove on a wint'ry day?

Doest the sapling complain of the Giant on a blust'ry day?

the foot & shoe

the hand & glove

the sap & Giant

Each is I, and these are You-

both,

as WE

If not for this want,
nay, NEED,
i would surly have met Lord Death
busted and broken,
likely by my own hand.
Thanks to these mini,
continuous, deaths:
to pain, to negativity, to fear;
i can Live, in Peace,
Here & Now.
