๐Ÿคท a personal decision ๐Ÿคท

Posted: Thu, May 16, 2024 09:26:52 AM

about how to run my life, more than likely is run through my 10TH and 11TH steps these days. i know that the fellowship is all about the will of a HIGHER POWER and surrendering my life into the care of that POWER. for the most part, i am well acquainted with doing just that and leaning back to allow what will be, simply be. in fact, this morning, it came upon my heart to unblock my niece and allow what will be to be in that relationship as well. i will just have to see where things lead, as i walk that path and i did make a personal decision to allow her to reach out. why? i have no idea, it just felt like the correct thing to do in that moment.
moving on, as i sat in my quiet place this morning, for the first time in days, it actually was quiet. nothing came bubbling up to the surface, popped off the stack, and no boiling pots simmered over, i felt connected to the void, which is my goal every single morning. as a result, there is not a whole lot of stuff for me to write about this morning. i am okay with how things are, right here and right now. i have moved into a place of balance, at least for right now, even if my fitness tracker tells me otherwise. i think i will peruse the inventory list one more time to see where my niece's items may have been added and let her know if and how much they sold for, even though she did not realize that an estate sales is about the estate.

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 2

2) Shall we then dispense with correction? The (method of) correction
shall by a turn become distortion, and the good in it shall by a turn
become evil. The delusion of the people (on this point) has indeed
subsisted for a long time.
