unique ?!?

Posted: Fri, Jul 2, 2004 04:57:16 AM

thank GOD i am an unique individual
it would be awful boring if everyone in RECOVERY were the same
however, the difference between and everyone else in the program does not change the fact that i can learn from others, or that in the most basic sense i share striking similiarities in how i act, react, behave, feel and generally process the events in my life
although some days i would love to think that i am so different from the rest that there is nothing i can get from staying around the rooms
i know where this thought comes from and where it will lead --
OUT OF THE ROOMS AND INTO THE STREETS
..maybe not at once, but eventually it would grow to the point where i would believe that i could use socially
and for someone like me that has never been possible -- well maybe it was once a very long time ago.
so i guess i will be an individual and let the program of recovery work for me today.

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 1

2) Its upper part is not bright, and its lower part is not obscure.
Ceaseless in its action, it yet cannot be named, and then it again
returns and becomes nothing. This is called the Form of the Formless,
and the Semblance of the Invisible; this is called the Fleeting and
Indeterminable.
