i gain a far greater power! take two, well i had this all writyten out and tries to add my shout-out and BOOM, in an instant, all my words of wisdom, were consigned to the bit bucket. speaking of which:

GT,
Congrats on 365 just for todays
in a row

so now that i am here at work, i can write what i really feel instead of what i thought i felt an hour ago. honestly, power and the exertion by me, thereof, has always been something that i have been obsessed with, at least for as long as i can remember. so manipulation and subterfuge to bend reality to my desire, was not something that i lacked practice in.
anyhow, today i surrender to another power, turning my power over to the care of the POWER that fuels my recovery and asking for the power to act in the will of that POWER.

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) We look at it, and we do not see it, and we name it 'the Equable.'
We listen to it, and we do not hear it, and we name it 'the Inaudible.'
We try to grasp it, and do not get hold of it, and we name it 'the
Subtle.' With these three qualities, it cannot be made the subject
of description; and hence we blend them together and obtain The One.
