am i truly sick and tired of being tired and sick?? the easy answer is of course but the real question is am i ready to something about it? and there is the rub! i have been a creature of habit for so long that what i really want is to bitch about whatever is going on in my life, let someone else offer a suggestion and then dismiss it and go back to whatever it was i was doing. hardly a spiritual manner to handle my life, n‘est-ce pas?
well two nights ago i actually decided to do something about what i am feeling and started the step work assignment i had been given 4 weeks ago, and you know what, i have been starting to awaken to the possibility that growth does not have to be painful nor undesirable. i know that for me anyhow, that i need to be actually formally be working a step almost all the time or i get further and further away from where i want to be going. and where i want to be going is forward on my journey to become the man my Higher Power has always wanted me to be.
so once again the reading applies to what is currently going on in my life.
the sweet and delicious irony of recovery is once again revealed in a daily reading.

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

1) It is better to leave a vessel unfilled, than to attempt to carry
it when it is full. If you keep feeling a point that has been sharpened,
the point cannot long preserve its sharpness.
