α selflessness and anonymity ω
posted: Sun, Dec 25, 2005 11:59:59 PM

 

to me, this reading is reminding me not of my giant ego (which i still fall victim to) but rather that what i do as a apart of my life in recovery is entirely more important than what i say. although the reading talked directly about how the principles of anonymity and selflessness are intricately tied together, it said a whole lot more to me and got me thinking about my relationships with those who choose to spend their lives near me.
but anyhow since this is a blast from the future and a warping of apparent reality i will leave well enough alone and just say:
Merry Christmas to All
