∞ sharing what i got ∞
posted: Wed, Dec 15, 2004 06:54:49 AM

 

and what i have got is unlimited. i am always surprised how readings of this nature make the thought train roll.
  1. i do not have anything to give to anyone.
  2. but wait a minute i have a few days clean and i have a few sponsees
  3. people do listen to me when i share
  4. i have accomplished a thing or two since getting clean
  5. i have worked a step or 3
  6. so i must have GOT something from this effort and from this journey.
  7. hey i guess i do have stuff to share with others
and then of course i get this big sense of gratitude of realizing that no matter what is happening in reality, i do have a manner of dealing with it, without using, acting-out or hurting myself or others. and this is what i NEED to share.
‘cuz i can only keep what i have IF i give it away.

☯ 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) Sincere words are not fine; fine words are not sincere. Those who
are skilled (in the Tao) do not dispute (about it); the disputatious
are not skilled in it. Those who know (the Tao) are not extensively
learned; the extensively learned do not know it.
