strength, and hope is what i listen for when i attend meetings. what i often hear instead is bragging about **how** recovered someone may be. one thing i was taught, was that once i shared about a good deed or doing something anonymously all the goodness was left on the table. i could go on and on, down that vein, but today, i have to admit my service efforts have been reduced to one-on-ones with my peers and the men who call me their sponsor. oh yeah, the meetings i attend and share at as well, in fact, i have been probably “too honest” at some of those meetings. all in all, not what i consider classic service to my fellowship. instead of rushing this, i will just post what i have now and move along into my day, regardless of how high we end up going, being with the men i love, up in the hills, is certainly a better plan than doing my yard work.

☯ 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

3) The people make light of dying because of the greatness of their
labours in seeking for the means of living. It is this which makes
them think light of dying. Thus it is that to leave the subject of
living altogether out of view is better than to set a high value on
it.
