∞ when i honestly admit my powerlessness over my addiction, ∞
posted: Sun, Jul 20, 2008 12:15:01 PM

 

i can begin the search for a better way to live. well here is sit in a service meeting, writing a blog before i shoot off my big mouth, i will vent a bit before, after all, i can be semi-anonymous manner. after all, this is my space and i can say what i want. so the person who disrespects me the most came up and asked me to cosign something that i am not in support of. so in a minute i will get to speak, so i am powerless over my disease, which runs rampant at times, and especially when i have a passion for in my service efforts. so i did a ream a member a new a$$hole, and i was mostly spiritual. but so it goes…
so back to the topic at hand and admitting that i am an addict and powerless over the disease of addiction in myself and those i serve with. that admission means that conceding to my innermost self that i am an addict and powerless over the disease in other members.
but it i am better now and we are moving forward!
so off to being present again and seeing how much i can help accomplish.

☯ 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

1) Scholars of the highest class, when they hear about the Tao, earnestly
carry it into practice. Scholars of the middle class, when they have
heard about it, seem now to keep it and now to lose it. Scholars of
the lowest class, when they have heard about it, laugh greatly at
it. If it were not (thus) laughed at, it would not be fit to be the
Tao.
