∞ a ghost no more ∞
posted: Wed, Dec 22, 2004 05:52:59 AM
yes i am alive today with a full range of emotions, passions, desires and dreams, so unlike that pathetic creature who walked in her not so many days ago. although i loath thinking about the shell of a person that i was, those memories provide me the contrast i need to SEE the evidence that this whole recovery gig is paying off. not that i actually need a pay-off to stay clean and not that recovery is in of itself reward enough for my work. every now and again i need evidence that i am changing and evolving into something better. you know that whole immediate gratification thing.
∞ DT ∞
I WANT IT AND I WANT IT NOW!so i can ask today to serve others with love. i can find it in my heart to love myself. and i can walk in FAITH that although i am unable to see where i am going, i am going to where i need to be.
AND WHAT I WANT IS ALWAYS MORE

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 1
3) Therefore he who would administer the kingdom, honouring it as
he honours his own person, may be employed to govern it, and he who
would administer it with the love which he bears to his own person
may be entrusted with it.
