Some Mornings

I’ve never been much of a smoker. I tried it a handful of times in college, prefer cigars, and realized cloves were pretty cool. That’s what make mornings like this morning, when I could almost rationalize going to the store to get a pack of cigarettes so bizzare.

When you wake up so jittery and you don’t remember your dreams, you feel rested, but also feel like you can go run a mile or HAVE to so you don’t crawl out of your skin, cigarettes sound about par.

[icbuddhists]

The wise are controlled in bodily action, controlled in speech and controlled in thought. They are truly well-controlled.

Dhammapada 234

[icbuddhists]

"One should do what one teaches others to do; if one would train others, one should be well controlled oneself. Difficult, indeed, is self-control."

Dhammapada 159
