ADDICTION
A voice spoke to me from out of a dream.
“She is your Salvation.
She is your Redemption.
If you can show her the True Path
you will find Happiness.”
Because I believed I needed
Redemption,
I desired the Knowledge
to find the True Path.
Because I sought to attain
Salvation,
I struggled to attain
And because I desired
her love,
I found myself forever
seeking her Approval
and Favor in vain.
Without Sin,
there is no need for
Salvation.
Without Guilt,
no need for
Redemption.
Free of the bondage that has made prisoners of us both.
If I seek Approval and Favor,
I empower her rejections.
In so doing, I enslave her
to her own desires for Power.
She loves me,
She loves me not.
The dog runs after the bone
long after the arrow has passed downtown.
Do not try to hit the Moon with a stick.
In the Spring,
when the Rains come,
the grass grows everywhere
all by itself.
What is Love?
Already you know.
It is just like this.
