well after a hectic morning doing a tiny little project that took 3 times as long as i though it would, i finally get a chance to sit, reflect and write.
anyhow listening for God‘s will has never been a strong suit for me and especially now as i am finishing off my second step. i do know that God‘s will is actually my TRUE will for me and i do get a moment of serenity and some direction when i choose to align my will to GOD‘s. so here i am, after a short bout of self-will this morning, restarting my morning, taking a breath and thinking about the daily reading, instead of running around exorcising my will.
will i get a chance to fall back into my old behavior this morning -- probably -- it is still early! i also know that i can find the way back to the spiritual principles i need to practice this day too!
so once again, i can see light at the end of the tunnel and it is not a train!

The Tao Teh King, or The Tao and Its Characteristics
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge

Book 2

1) He who devotes himself to learning (seeks) from day to day to increase
(his knowledge); he who devotes himself to the Tao (seeks) from day
to day to diminish (his doing).
