โˆž looking for a bit of evidence โˆž

Posted: Fri, May 26, 2006 07:37:01 AM

...of a HIGHER POWER working in my life this morning. this morning is the type of morning that would have justified using just a little bit to get back to normal. i could go through the laundry list of everything that has gone wrong since i first thought about leaving my comfortable state of bliss in bed, but why should i bore you, my faithful readers, with a litany of events that i perceive as evil. needless to say, i have had to restart my day a couple of times just to get a bit of balance and rationality.
now on to the reading, what i really need is to find just a bit of evidence that i am on the right track, in this moment. i can whine with the best of them and that is what i really want to do, but what would it really accomplish? it would not connect me to the divine, it would not change the events of the morning, and it probably would not help me feel any better about my day.
so exactly what is this addict to do? :-((
well for one, i can take another deep breath, close my eyes, and allow something to fill me other than anger and bitterness. and i do not mean another cup of coffee, although that was what came to mind.
there really is something working in my life today, beyond my understanding. and right here, right now, i am finally ready to face the world and see what comes my way! so off to the showers and the races to see if I can have a better day.

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

7) Thus it is that the Great man abides by what is solid, and eschews
what is flimsy; dwells with the fruit and not with the flower. It
is thus that he puts away the one and makes choice of the other.
