ฮด when i work the Twelve Steps to the best of my ability ฮด

Posted: Sat, Apr 24, 2010 04:28:37 AM

i find that i can become the type of person who is capable of finding employment, sustaining loving relationships, and helping others. okay it is way early, but this morning, i am embarking on one of the gifts that i have been given in recovery, a vacation to the tropics. i wrote earlier this week about how this very trip was denied me way back when, and this morning as i stress out about all the things i have left to do, before i get there, i am struck by the irony of the situation. had i not got clean, had i not accepted recovery, and had i not worked steps, none of this would have happened, i would still be spinning down the drain in active addiction. so instead of stressing, i do believe i will find the time to be grateful and move into this day, one step at a time. life is good, i am grateful for what i have been given, so off to the showers and into this journey to Mexico.

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) So it is that existence and non-existence give birth the one to
(the idea of) the other; that difficulty and ease produce the one
(the idea of) the other; that length and shortness fashion out the
one the figure of the other; that (the ideas of) height and lowness
arise from the contrast of the one with the other; that the musical
notes and tones become harmonious through the relation of one with
another; and that being before and behind give the idea of one following
another.
