∞ i usually had an open mind when it came to the finding ways and means ∞

if i can apply this same principle of open-mindedness to my recovery, i may surprise myself by how easily i grasp the program.
so i am very late in writing this brief message today. i need to take care of myself so all you get is the quote from the reading. life is good and i am not well and not taking care of myself with have some consequences i am unwilling to accept -- so off to the dark quiet room for a bit.

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) Let him keep his mouth closed, and shut up the portals (of his
nostrils), and all his life he will be exempt from laborious exertion.
Let him keep his mouth open, and (spend his breath) in the promotion
of his affairs, and all his life there will be no safety for him.
