โˆž a journey of discovery?! โˆž

Posted: Fri, Nov 18, 2005 05:31:25 AM

thinking about what my day may bring today, i am already running fast for sleeping through my alarm clock. lately i feel like the energizer bunny, i keep going and going and going .... and it is starting to wear on me, in fact here is a reading about the tenth step and i did not write one last night because i was just too tired! i do not think that it is the start of a new pattern but rather a reaction to dealing with the current state of my life. but anyhow, it is what it is!
getting back from my slight digression, i do like the concept that recovery for me is a journey of discovery of who i am and who i will be. the tenth step is just another tool for plotting my plodding progress down that road. some days it shows that i have gone back and covered already discovered territory. other days it shows that i forged ahead into terra incognito. and some days i have no clue about where i am or where i am heading, you know "life is a mystery" type of days. actually i have come to appreciate those days the most, i seem to learn more about myself and my place in the world at the end of such days. what have learned that is new different today? not much, but after all, i have only been awake for less than an hour, so i will see what happens. keeping my eyes, ears and mind wide-open will allow me to experience what life has in store for me today and what i need to learn to be a part of it!

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

2) The unwrought material, when divided and distributed, forms vessels.
The sage, when employed, becomes the Head of all the Officers (of
government); and in his greatest regulations he employs no violent
measures.
