today, living clean is the only way i would have it, in all of the ways that this reading spoke about.
it is quite a gift not to have to worry about who i lied to, who i ripped-off, whether or not some government agency has me on their hit list, and best of all whether or not i NEED to do something to GET my daily fix. that is not to say that i do not have anything to be concerned about, i do, but my concerns are more in line with the rest of the so-called normal world. if i do what has been suggested, if i do my level best to live a program of recovery, and if i am as honest as i can be with myself, clean living comes naturally instead of being enforced by an outside entity.
so after a weekend of entertaining house guests, i am off to an early start to get those things done that need to be done. meeting my responsibilities this morning, taking care of myself, and a bit of relaxation, seems to be on tap for me today. so off i go, out into reality to practice another day of living clean.

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 sage has in the world an appearance of indecision, and keeps
his mind in a state of indifference to all. The people all keep their
eyes and ears directed to him, and he deals with them all as his children.
