good morning
i listened to a 5th step yesterday and was wiped out
I forgot how much it takes out of me to listen to another addict's 4th
... but i am glad that i was trusted enough to be asked in the first place and that i had enough of the right stuff to be present and make the experience complete.
it does boggle me about the power of the steps and the results that coma about by working them. although i rarely get to see the change in me, the gift is i get to see the change in others and how the world reacts to me.
well enough rambling
happy father's day to all you fathers!

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 2
1) The ancients who showed their skill in practising the Tao did so,
not to enlighten the people, but rather to make them simple and ignorant.
