letting go of the past
posted: Wed, Oct 27, 2004 04:22:02 AM
... and allowing myself to be become the new person that this process allows.
a very scary thought since i do not have any clues about who i am becoming. i am certainly better off than when i started and the gifts that i have been given are beyond any that i could have dreamt up by myself.
today i have FAITH in the process and GOD's loving care to guide me in this new life and will continue to let it work.

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 2
1) The government that seems the most unwise,
Oft goodness to the people best supplies;
That which is meddling, touching everything,
Will work but ill, and disappointment bring. Misery!--happiness is
to be found by its side! Happiness!--misery lurks beneath it! Who
knows what either will come to in the end?
