โˆž a ghost no more โˆž

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.
I WANT IT AND I WANT IT NOW!
AND WHAT I WANT IS ALWAYS MORE
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.

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

1) There is nothing in the world more soft and weak than water, and
yet for attacking things that are firm and strong there is nothing
that can take precedence of it;--for there is nothing (so effectual)
for which it can be changed.
