∞ coincidence or miracle ∞
posted: Sat, Jun 25, 2005 07:13:49 AM

 

… it really does not matter today. for me all that matters is that i am still clean and willing to do what it takes to continue to grow. i am at the point in my step work where i have to believe that something can restore me to some sort of sanity. that a Higher Power of some nature can provide what i need to move on. the FAITH that has been growing since my very first second step is still present today, however the way i choose to look at myself and the world around me has changed. so my task today for me is once again letting my old beliefs fall by the wayside. making room in my heart and my mind for whatever needs to replace that belief structure. and hoping that like today, tomorrow will be another day i choose not to use and i choose to do whatever it takes to move on.

☯ 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) All in the world know the beauty of the beautiful, and in doing
this they have (the idea of) what ugliness is; they all know the skill
of the skilful, and in doing this they have (the idea of) what the
want of skill is.
