giving away love

Posted: Mon, Nov 1, 2004 04:42:04 AM

two days without writing and no good excuse. the truth is i have been blocked from my feelings since thursday and have been unable to really meditate or find any connection to anything beyond myself. i have been very careful to not act-out by going out and buying something ,withdrawing from the love of those around me or isolating and pushing everyone away.
this morning i finally started to feel the block lift and was able to feel a connection of sorts. i actually feel GOD's love for me today so the reading was more than appropriate for what i am currently going through.
i do not know whether the block i have is the result of GOD's care for me or my disease preventing me from feeling what i need to, i do know that i feel it lifting and will be present for whatever comes as the emotions i have been "not feeling" come back.
i also know that the love and strength i have received since coming to the program is the result of working and living the steps. today i want to share what i am once again starting to feel and let GOD work through me.

Tao Te Ching

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯

The Tao Teh King, or The Tao and Its Characteristics
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge

Book 2

2) It is simply by being pained at (the thought of) having this disease
that we are preserved from it. The sage has not the disease. He knows
the pain that would be inseparable from it, and therefore he does
not have it.
