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

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 2
1) Or fame or life,
Which do you hold more dear?
Or life or wealth,
To which would you adhere?
Keep life and lose those other things;
Keep them and lose your life:--which brings
Sorrow and pain more near?
