δ sometimes what occurs in my life can be frightening, as change often seems. δ
posted: Wed, Apr 30, 2008 10:33:58 AM
as i move forward with faith, the strength of my Higher Power is never far from me. my recovery is strengthened by these changes. change is never easy for me, and i like to resist it, by choosing to ignore it. after all, if i ignore what i see changing, it will occur without my intervention anyhow, and i can safely ignore what is going on inside.
well, my recent experience has shown that is never the case, and the evidence is that i need to be present for change withing me, as well as in my life circumstances, such as those suggested by the reading. the changes i have been ignoring, is what has been going on inside of me as a result of the step work i just have finished. i am certainly more in touch with who and what i am, but what i had failed to notice, is that as the seventh step propelled me into a place that i am cognizant of behaving contrary to my beliefs.
but anyhow, time to run. i will no longer cave to fear, i can be who i am and i can allow myself to see the world and myself as it really is!

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 2
2) Let the kingdom be governed according to the Tao, and the manes
of the departed will not manifest their spiritual energy. It is not
that those manes have not that spiritual energy, but it will not be
employed to hurt men. It is not that it could not hurt men, but neither
does the ruling sage hurt them.
