Emerson, No One Listened

Drugs, booze, sex, religion,
books, party-lines, facebook, guns:
We're all reliant.

I am not sure if it is even possible to be SELF-reliant, holding true to only the "integrity of your own mind." I know that I am not. I do, however, try to be aware that my addiction isn't much better than the next. I hope this gets me one step closer to transcending. I have always thought it would be nice to become a transparent eyeball!

The goal:
"Standing on the bare ground, my head bathed by the blithe air, and uplifted into infinite space, all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eyeball-I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me-I am part or particle of God." from Nature by Ralph Waldo Emerson
