Remember...
When you walk, walk,
and when you run, run.
By all means, don't wobble!
Zen Poem
Meditation opens the mind of man to the greatest mystery that takes place daily and hourly; it widens the heart so that it may feel the eternity of time and infinity of space in every throb; it gives us a life within the world as if we were moving about in paradise; and all these spiritual deeds take place without any refuge into a doctrine, but by the simple and direct holding fast to the truth which dwells in our innermost beings.
- Shunryu Suzuki
Choices in a meditator's life are very simple:
Do those things that contribute to your awareness
and refrain from those things that do not.
--Sujala
When you walk, walk,
and when you run, run.
By all means, don't wobble!

Carl Jung
"His craving for alcohol was the equivalent on a low level of the spiritual thirst of our being for wholeness, the union with God.
The only right and legitimate way to such an experience is, that it happens to you in reality and it can only happen to you when you walk on a path, which leads you to higher understanding. You might be led to that goal by an act of grace or through a personal and honest contact with friends, or through a higher education of the mind beyond the confines of mere rationalism."
--From a letter from C. G. Jung to Bill Wilson,
co-founder of Alcohol Anonymous

Song
MELANCHOLIC ALCOHOLIC
The doctor says I drink too much
My liver is borderline risky
When I'm half cut, I bleed red wine
And when I piss, I piss whisky
I've got Guiness running through my veins
A drunken wife and drunken weans
My muscle tissue's wafer thin
My saliva tastes like gin
chorus
And when I come, it's Bacardi Rum
And when I cry, it's vodka and lime
Well I'm a melancholic alcoholic
I need a lift, I need a tonic
Yeah, I'm a melancholic alcoholic
My blood pressure is supersonic
There's another big faux pas
I've been drinking Stella Artois
While I'm driving im my car
Don't worry - I didn't get far
But it was an emergency
I had to get to Threshers, eh?
They'd no drink left - that's the truth
I drove home with a drunkard's drooth
chorus
The Sensational Alex Salmond Gastric Band
