uncluttering
posted: Sat, Sep 4, 2004 11:30:00 AM
i never really thought about unfinished amends being clutter on my spirit, but it does make sense. anything that creates a tie to my active disease days or is something about which i feel guilty, ashamed of or is left unresolved would certainly be a bane to my contiuing spiritual growth.
i have had enough problems lately living in the here and now, mostly caused by my impending anniversary but today i am in a good space with very little care about what may or may not happen in the upcoming days. so i think i will go with the flow, take care of any simmering resentments and try my best to do the next right thing.

nothing (on purpose). Having arrived at this point of non-action,
there is nothing which he does not do.
