โˆž in the hustle and bustle of my day, i end up going from morning to night โˆž

Posted: Tue, Jul 3, 2007 09:56:26 AM

without taking time out to improve my conscious contact with the HIGHER POWER i have come to understand.
not that i do not take time in the morning to sit still and try to quiet my mind. however the past few days i have had trouble sitting still for any longer than five minutes. i know that i am a bit stressed these days about how much work i am not getting done. so instead of letting go, i sit and ponder how i will get my stuff done. what does it all mean? well perhaps it is me trying to live in self-will, and listening for GOD’s will interfere in me living in self-will. could be. nahhh. i am better than that, or maybe i am not. yes my life i busy these days, but it has been my experience that if i am so busy that i forget to get in touch with the POWER that keeps me clean, i will not stay clean. and if i do not stay clean, my life will not be very busy anymore. so the two edge sword will cut me both ways, either i need to let go and listen, or i will not have anything to be busy for. so my commitment, try and do better tomorrow morning. perhaps writing about my little problem, will help me find the willingness to do what it takes. only time will tell!

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

2) It is the way of Heaven not to strive, and yet it skilfully overcomes;
not to speak, and yet it is skilful in (obtaining a reply; does not
call, and yet men come to it of themselves. Its demonstrations are
quiet, and yet its plans are skilful and effective. The meshes of
the net of Heaven are large; far apart, but letting nothing escape.
