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."
