If coffee is my god, where does chocolate fit in?

I don’t have any Gods, I just have preferred things to have in my life! Coffee, chocolate, writing, friends, I love them all, no need for God(s)!

What is that photo all about? The photo is part of my new Art INstallation I am creating, the “RUST & FOUND” Art Installation! Coming up with ‘new’ found pieces of rusty items to add to this installation, by going on walks and picking up disgarded things, tidying up the place, and making Art!

Coffee wakes up the synapses in my brain, help me to bring out the words I need to write what I’m going to need to write the book I intend writing about this ‘RUST & FOUND’ Project.

Poetry and Prose, words, words, words — and of course chocolate makes a fine reward for me as I go along getting the bits and pieces happening!

If by God, one means an overarching thing that encourages better behaviour, then sure, that’s coffee for me, without coffee in the morning, I can be grumpy and even lazy!

So with coffee at least twice a day, I’ll keep on going, doing all of the things that need to be done, maintaining a happy and helpful disposition. Add in some chocolate every now and then, and it’s even better.

I have no rules imposed by an invisible being or beings, I just go by my own understanding of good behaviour, based on community norms, and life continues on, good for me, and good for those I have dealings with!

And if there are any things that seem troublesome? A bit of chocolate brings sweetness, and those things can be smoothed over and made more reasonable.
