i know what complacency does for me. i become very restless, irritated, discontented and life generally just sucks! of course, i could recognize those symptoms and do something about it, but most of the time i just twist for a few days and whine about everything to everyone.
well after finishing step work last night and the reading this morning, i have come to the realization that i am up against the human limitations of what i can do right now to grow. so that means i need to turn to the divine and although i am tired of living in insanity, i am not ready to move on.
and that brings me back to complacency. i can stay where i am, living in insanity and ignoring the gifts that recovery brings or i can find the COURAGE to walk through my fears, ask for divine intervention and live.
quite a choice.
i will let go at least a little bit and see what happens
maybe!

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

4) Under these two aspects, it is really the same; but as development takes place, it receives the different names. Together we call them
the Mystery. Where the Mystery is the deepest is the gate of all that is subtle and wonderful.
