The Life Dialogue.

                     World: “You want me, don’t you?”

Me: “Yes, embarrassingly so.”

Spirit: “Do you want me?”

Me: “Yes, You most of all.”

World: “That is a contradiction.”

Me: “Maybe so.”

World: “So, what’s holding you back?”

Spirit: “So, what’s holding you back?”

Me: “Everything.”

Spirit: “By that you mean, the world?”

World: “But all I do is give!”

Me: “No, you take.”

Spirit: “Nothing is holding you back, you belong to Me.”

Me: “I feel weighed down.”

Spirit: “My burden is light.”

World: “I feel good.”

Me: “For awhile, I would agree.”

World: “I taste good.”

Me: “For awhile, I would agree.”

World: “Then it’s settled, you stick with me.”

Me: “Beauty is fleeting.”

Spirit: “Not my beauty.”

Me: “I know.”

World: “I have power.”

Spirit: “So do I.”

World: “…to bring you up.”

Spirit: “…to build you up.”

Me: “I feel down.”

Spirit: “Then you know what you have chosen, do you not?”

Me: “Just for now.”

Spirit: “You can exchange it for truth.”

World: “You can spend more money. You can cut your hair again. You can cut someone down to build yourself up. I am the way.”

Spirit: “I am the Way.”

Me: “I feel foolish. To be perfectly honest, I feel like a stranger to myself.”

Spirit: “I warned you of that, did I not?”

World: “If you feel foolish, we could just concentrate on how you look?”

Me: “No, I feel ugly too.”

World: “Hmmm, maybe that’s why you have trouble getting close to people.”

Me: “Thanks.”

Spirit: “You can turn it off, you know?”

Me: “I’ll do anything.”

Spirit: “Keep your eyes on Me”

Me: “For how long?”

Spirit: “Forever.”

Me: “Will you keep it away?”

Spirit: “If you will.”

Me: “You know, this seems to be working. What about money?”

Spirit: “How much do you need?”

Me: “Ok, I know you have everything. What about when I feel just plain?”

Spirit: “Then we can work on your character.”

Me: “That means trials, doesn’t it?”

Spirit: “Is that so different than what you were fighting before?”

Me: “Not really.”

Spirit: “Then it’s settled. We’re in this together.”

                                *Life goes on*

Me: “She is so pretty…he is so rich…that family is perfect….he is a great husband….she is so creative…”

World: “You are pathetic.”

Spirit: “You are priceless.”

World: “You are poor.”

Spirit: “You are blessed.”

World: “You are alone.”

Spirit: “You are alone, in the palm of my hand, just the two of us. Now, what do you say?”

Me: “Make it go away.”

Spirit: “Yes, let’s."
