not mind over matter
that mind mastering flesh
that is subject to it anyway
with its quiet cravings
but mind over mind
in a wrestling match
limbic system shouting over
the reasonable cortex
its wants
and self
jumping between poles
of craving and reason
attempting balance
on steep slopes
and slipping on substance
shaped to trip and bruise
the best intentions

Are you still fighting the smoking craving?
There are days, and then there are weekends where I swear I could smoke a pack a minute–I need coping mechanisms that do not involve nicotine 🙂
Got past it today, though–JUST!
Magnificent in prosaic philosophical understanding which produces awareness ! LOVE your wisdom !~Ms Solomon 🙂

Thanks, Kyle–it is the only thing that is helping me win that fight 🙂
Damned cigarettes 😀
It has become my mantra…as well as my new wallpaper, thanks to help from a very clever friend. Mind over Mind…so smart Susan.
