Conversation with God # 67

A Poem by SleeplessVolcano



I thought I was being very clever,
By drinking a glass of water
After each cup of coffee -
It makes sense to dillute caffeine
With clear and soothing water,
When a voice shook
Me out of my caffeine
Induced high,
Saying,
Your logic is as sound
As someone thinking
That by doing a good deed
His addiction to drinking
Is not so bad anymore.
It's not that coffee is evil
But if you cannot
Sleep at night -
Which is when you
End up in a fight
You tend to lose,
Then maybe quit
Your addictions -
And you will have
Less afflictions
But since I am only
Your consultant
This advice, as always
Is pro bono.
You would rather listen
To some Dr Shrink
Who charges you $ 100 an hour
While you have three more
Coffees and she tells you
What you want to hear
And blames your upbringing
And that nasty teacher in
Grade one
Who stunted your soul
Oh what gibberish
And hogwash
You end up believing
Instead of being free
You put your
Faith
In a
Phd?

Non- Duality = A third Choice................. ween down joyfully to drinking Caffeine free.
Don't tell the mind it is a compromise and fall back to failure.
Tell the mind to think victoriously over finding a third choice as a winner.

Cute one..I have had to give up my one or two cups of regular coffee because of health problems..I now have one cup of decaf in the morning..Maybe a second cup sometimes..I have to make decaf tea as well..It is not giving up coffee because it is addictive just like the alcohol..I enjoyed reading this one..God does give us some good advice and we should listen..Thanks for stopping by my work..Sara
