because i cannot read minds or know the motives and desires of others, i simply have to hope for the best, when i carry the message, well a bit of hoop jumping this morning to get a seed, but i am here and i heard a whole lot of stuff. i am way off my routine, as i am sitting Cheyenne , sharing a room with another zonal forum member, so what i like -- peace and quiet and no human interaction for at least an hour after my first sip of coffee was not to be. i can however say that i am grateful to be here, and that regardless of the compromises i have to make to my daily routine, it certainly is just where i want to be, right here and right now.
so what is the message i can carry today, and what do i need to do when i carry it. well, the message i can carry today is one of HOPE, because i feel hopeful. i can carry the message of JOY, because i am joyful to be alive and have a life that looks to be promising. i can also carry the message of SERENITY, because , regardless of what happens today, i have the FAITH necessary to carry me through today without using. the only reason i can carry those three parts of a message is because, today, i have made the choice to stay clean and practice a program of active recovery. when i carry that message i let go of the results, i do not know who will listen and where the seed of recovery will take hold, my message, honestly shared is just one of the gifts i give back to the fellowship that allows mew to live free today.
so anyhow it is time to ge eat breakfast before heading into the CAR workshop. i am off!

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) When the Tao prevails in the world, they send back their swift
horses to (draw) the dung-carts. When the Tao is disregarded in the
world, the war-horses breed in the border lands.
