โˆž open road of recovery โˆž

Posted: Fri, Apr 22, 2005 06:15:26 AM

well after waking up late and breaking a bunch of things i can finally sit down and write my blog this morning.
anyway, i am more than willing to continue to develop my spiritual, social and general living skills by applying the principles of recovery i have accumulated to date. this morning, at least i am more than satisfied with my progress along the open road of recovery. i was able to be present for my sister last night and give her the birthday present she wanted -- my time and my creative talents -- there was once a day when i would have thought that the whole event was ‘corny’ and not worth doing. most of that comes from my low opinion of myself. i had to rationalize a reason for not doing something because, of course, i was in denial about my opinion of myself and my abilities. whether i am artist or not was irrelevant last night, i was still willing to give what i could and the results of my love will be a permanent reminder to her and me both, that i can give something of myself to those i love.
but anyway, i have decided to do the best i can, restart my day and let whatever is going to happen, happen. and for me, that is walking the open road of recovery 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

3) On occasions of festivity to be on the left hand is the prized
position; on occasions of mourning, the right hand. The second in
command of the army has his place on the left; the general commanding
in chief has his on the right;--his place, that is, is assigned to
him as in the rites of mourning. He who has killed multitudes of men
should weep for them with the bitterest grief; and the victor in battle
has his place (rightly) according to those rites.
