"Touch not the poisonous firewater that makes wise men turn to fools and robs the spirit of its vision"

Found a memorial dedicated to Shawnee leader Tecumseh on a hike about 6 years ago with this quote on it. I’ve been a heavy drinker for almost 10 years now and finding the picture I took with that quote again felt like perfect timing. It holds true, for me at least. I’ve been in a state of arrested development and constant panic for far too long. Really reeeeally tired of going in circles and robbing my own spirit 🫂
