from total surrender to the program.
ah, late start Wednesdays, i love it. this morning i got to sleep in, and am in no great hurry to get out the door. that probably does not mean a spilling of everything i may be holding near and dear to my heart to the netizens who happen to stumble on to my daily brain dumps. i will however explore the whole secrets EQUAL reservations theme a bit more before jumping into the shower and heading to the office.
i am fond of saying, when i like or do not like a reading, it is not because i am emotionally attached to something in the reading, it usually means that there is something i need to look at, good or bad, that triggered that emotional reaction. this morning the reaction was a bit more on the positive side, so i needed to figure out what secrets had to do with it. well, i did unload a secret or two on my sponse last Thursday night, as well as at a meeting on Saturday morning an to tell you all the real truth, coming out of STEP THREE, has made me feel broken beyond repair, once again. what i was holding on to, the financial mess i had made, was just camouflage for what i really needed to be looking at, at looking at that, scares the living sh!t out of me.
i am, however, getting ready to start STEP FOUR, so i have a great framework to deal with the current set of fears, insecurities and just plain lunacy that is the current state of me. as much as i want to hold on to my misery, because of course not a single one of you can understand, i know that once more the path before will open up and allow me the freedom from my self-obsession that has been given to me time after time, when i surrender completely to the principles of this program.
well i thought i had a whole lot more to say, apparently not, so off to work i go and into what will be a very long day, full and active , and nothing i dread doing, just a long one. so be well my friends and i will see you in the morning.

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

2) What men dislike is to be orphans, to have little virtue, to be
as carriages without naves; and yet these are the designations which
kings and princes use for themselves. So it is that some things are
increased by being diminished, and others are diminished by being
increased.
