Drinking as a substitude for Meditation!

[sunnie]

Quote from Whamo:


If meditation doesn't work try a physical activity to the point of exhaustion, with or without being followed by meditation. (Make sure you build up your conditioning before you do this.) It's amazing how good I feel after hitting heavy bags, weightlifting, running, or doing martial arts to exhaustion. Doing this will help clear out all the noise in your head.

Right on...try running 5 or 6 miles at a fast clip, and see if you still feel like drinking alcohol afterwards!!!....the bad thing about drinking (especially red wine) are the hangovers....one of the reasons I quit drinking years ago....

Time is slower, but with a smile - just remember, "everytin' is gonna be aright."

Got that song in my head now....

Don't worry about a thing
'Cause ev'ry little thing gonna be alright
Singin', "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause ev'ry little thing gonna be alright."

Rise up this morning,
Smiled with the rising sun
Three little birds pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs of melodies pure and true
Sayin', "This is my message to you-u-u."
Singin'...
(Repeat)

"Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause ev'ry little thing gonna be al-right."
(4 times)

The song was written on the step at the back of 56 Hope Road, where Bob loved to sit and write songs. As spliffs were rolled, the seeds from the herb would be thrown onto the ground where birds would pick them up in their beaks. Hence the title, the three little birds being a trio of ground doves.

I think this might be tied sulfide sensitivity (red wine and headaches). Everybody has different threshold for it. Anyway, the thing with red wine is that while you're abusing your liver, you're getting some antioxidants.
