โˆž in my addiction, i created a storm of self-deception and rationalization โˆž

Posted: Sat, Jun 21, 2008 12:52:12 PM

a whirlwind of lies in which the small, quiet voice of self-honesty could not be heard. well i would be lying if i said i was peppy and full of energy right now. in fact i do believe i am, going to lay down and take a nap.
so what does that have to do with learning to be honest first with myself then with the world around me, bunches. there was a day when i would deny that i had physical li8mits or any limits for that matter and forged ahead as if nothing was wrong with me. well today is not that day, and as i progress down the path of recovery i get yet another chance to allow the process to transform me into a honest human being limits and all. so off to nap time and into the arms of Morpheus.

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 1

3) On occasions of festivity to be on the left hand is the prized
position; on occasions of mourning, the right hand. The second in
command of the army has his place on the left; the general commanding
in chief has his on the right;--his place, that is, is assigned to
him as in the rites of mourning. He who has killed multitudes of men
should weep for them with the bitterest grief; and the victor in battle
has his place (rightly) according to those rites.
