α even after i come to believe in a Power greater than myself ω
posted: Thu, Jun 14, 2007 09:00:48 AM
my old ideas can come back to haunt me
and they have more than once. the form it usually takes for me, is anger and rage at that loving POWER, why oh why does such a POWER allow such awful things and events to happen if only...
so for me, i need to remember that i cannot even grasp a fraction of the nature of that POWER, i will not fall back on that old cliché of those ways being mysterious, i just accept that it is beyond my comprehension and move on.
life is so much simpler for me, when i let go and let events happen as they will, without questioning ever little thing that does not meet my approval. and trust me when i say every little thing!
so off to a creative task and into the real world today. i hope that this postes as my web host is having major issues today!
