...of the daily rut and onto a higher track. one simple question can put me on the high road: what do i think my Higher Power wants for me tomorrow? well the simple and sweet version is to stay clean. i am quite sure there is way more than that going on, and am even willing to consider the possibility that it is happening. i have, however, tired of trying to guess the will of my HIGHER POWER for me, for anytime in the future,including the next few minutes. rather, i try and allow myself to feel my way through to the next moment, opening myself up for that voice to be revealed to me. not that i expect that voice to take on a booming, ethereal quality and tell me point blank what to do next. and not that i believe that i am some sort of puppet moving at the behest of some divine puppet master. one of the gifts, i get everyday is the ability to choose my path, based on what i know feel and believe. not that i always choose the high road, nor do i always do the next right thing, and it is a good thing that i have a daily ritual, that surrounds both ends of my day. i hate to say that it is a ritual, but i am moving in the direction of being more honest with myself, and doing a tenth step has become a ritual, rather than a habit. i still make a conscious choice to do this automatically every single evening, so in my belief system the conscious choice makes it different than a habit.
but anyhow, i digress, what the reading was about, at least in my addict brain, was making a connection to the divine when i am stuck in the mundane world, and pondering the nature of the will of my HIGHER POWER for me. that does not mean i try and guess, nor predict, i just ponder and let my mind go where it will. i prefer to do this at the start of my day, so the question that i started with would need a bit of word smithing; what do i think my Higher Power wants for me today? and with that simple yet eloquent question i can get my day started off right and move on to the plane of a higher existence at least for the brief period of time i can quiet my mind and listen. so anyhow, one of the things i need to do, is to go and run some errands. so it is out of the divine and into the mundane for me!
