one and all! i was about to fight fire with fire and get really political, i however, decided to let go of petty politics. when i rise above my differences i start to understand who i am, how i fit, and how much i have to offer the world. my decision to rise above my less than savory nasty bits, is part of this new manner is which i am living. it is certainly ironic that today, i sent holiday greetings out to more people than i probably have in the past ten years. i am not sure what that is all about and i am not going to do a dive into what is actually working in my life. i do know that i am in a great mood this morning,and i have a perfect excuse to get out of the part of the Christmas celebrations that make me grind me teeth and pretend to accept. golly gee, i said i would support my home group at the Christmas event in Boulder at 2 PM, sorry, folks i cannot make late brunch. 😄 😄
as i started this day, and sat quietly sampling the void within, i felt as if there were shifts in my attitudes and feelings starting to roll up and present themselves as my new “what is.” this could just be a bit of OG''s pink cloud after starting to have a spiritual awakening, or it might be part of lasting change. i do not know and seriously i do not care.
football is kicking off and i have a couple of commitments to get taken care of, to make a friend or two smile even a little bit. what that means in the here and now is to get to my point, make it and get out. my point is, that i am finding myself fitting better in my family and personal relationships, in my fellowship and home group and in the world in general. how and why this is occurring is not really important to me. i take it on FAITH that because i have been paying attention and grasping the opportunities i have been offered i am getting more than i ever bargained for. what i wanted was FREEDOM from active addiction, what i got was so much more and i keep getting more, just for today.

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

2) When harmony no longer prevailed throughout the six kinships, filial
sons found their manifestation; when the states and clans fell into
disorder, loyal ministers appeared.
