∞ learning in recovery is hard work. ∞

Posted: Mon, Jan 22, 2007 12:34:44 PM

the things i most need to know are often the hardest to learn.
i know this sounds like one of those best selling how to help yourself books or a seminar that you pay big buck$ for and you get the secrets to self-enlightenment. well although i find this particular reading more than a bit cheesy, i do not disagree with the whole schooling metaphor and about being the student sometimes and the teacher at other times. it has been my experience that the lessons i WANT to learn and the lessons that i NEED to learn are seldom the same thing and that seems to be a BIG BUMMER, most days.
today on the other hand i am learning a few lessons on what i need to do a move forward with my relationships with myself, my girlfriend and my friends.
so anyhow, i am really pressed for time this afternoon, it has been a very strange day and i need to move forward and see what i can accomplish 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 2

3) The people make light of dying because of the greatness of their
labours in seeking for the means of living. It is this which makes
them think light of dying. Thus it is that to leave the subject of
living altogether out of view is better than to set a high value on
it.
