α finding FAITH ω
posted: Sun, Nov 27, 2005 09:52:11 AM

 

ok, you could probably say that i have had better fortnights and you would be right. after all, if things had gone according to my plan, i would be working on setting-up a new laptop, permanently cut a tie from a person i find odious, heard my sponsor‘ wife share her experience, strength and hope on thursday night, painted masterpiece travel mugs for christmas and been cruising through some side work or perhaps a bit of computer gaming after writing this blog. well, judy had to work, they only had one travel mug, i still have to set-up a time and place to rid myself of a computer and it looks like i will be working on putting together a new desktop system tomorrow. the incredible part of these seeming misfortunes is that today i have the FAITH that this is what was supposed to happen, all that other shit was my will and not my true will, but rather self-will run riot. the signs were there but i kept hammering forward and finally got the message ENOUGH!
and the other part of FAITH is i accept that GOD set this in motion and all is according to GOD‘s plan. i know i do not walk alone in this journey but i often act as if i do, after all when my FAITH lags how else can i insure that i get what i WANT DAMMIT!
so when i read the reading this morning i knew it was time to once more re-affirm my FAITH, let go and see what will happen, i do not have a clue whether i will like the results or not, but i know that in the long run they will be just what i NEED. and right here , right now i am good with that!

☯ 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 2

4) The great state only wishes to unite men together and nourish them;
a small state only wishes to be received by, and to serve, the other.
Each gets what it desires, but the great state must learn to abase
itself.
