In the world of consuming of alcohol or drugs, the word spirit is often heard, very often in jest when one’s spirits have been elevated, sullied or dampened by ‘demon rum.’ There is no time, and definitely not in these holidays, for alcohol or other drugs to be consumed in quantities that allow for one’s personal spirit to be seconded to these chemicals.
There are many that would disagree, and disagree heartily, with me. Possibly even accompanied by guffaws and raucous laughter. However, I have seen, know and very likely been related to many who have ultimately succumbed to some form of chemical spirits, forever leaving only memories of the lives they lived ~ the fragments of their true spirits shining through a watery, wavering chemical aura.
This time of year, and especially this evening, has too great a potential for tragedy to arrive suddenly and without warning while spirits are altered.
Please be careful out there, don’t drink, drug and drive - and have fun!!
“All that spirits desire, spirits attain.”
~ Khalil Gibran
