โˆž major setbacks in my life and the insecurity such events may give rise to โ€ฆ

Posted: Sat, Jun 14, 2008 02:45:54 PM

...the return of my old, inadequate ideas. i need to assure myself that my Higher Power has not abandoned me. well the old versus the new. quite a battle to be waging inside my head, however most days the new triumphs and the old loses. today is one of those days. no i have had no major setbacks, nor am i feeling out of sorts with my HIGHER POWER, i am just sort of off. nothing to write home about, and it is barely worth mentioning, but since i did, i think i will continue down that path. who knows what is really going on, lots of change, a new grand baby, work by the bucket loads, and physical pain from working out far too many days in a row. in fact i had to consciously choose to take the day off this morning and perhaps it is the lack of endorphins that is making me feel a bit off. it really does not matter, i have enough to do, to distract myself, until i start to feel spot on, or laying my head down to go to sleep this evening. so it is off to see a sponsee and see if he is really ready to embark on a ninth step or if he is just blowing smoke, time will tell and you know what, just thinking about doing a bit of recovery stuff is making me feel better. life is life and i am where i am, but i do know that, like all things, this too shall pass.

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 1

4) Under these two aspects, it is really the same; but as development takes place, it receives the different names. Together we call them
the Mystery. Where the Mystery is the deepest is the gate of all that is subtle and wonderful.
