ΞΌ i arrived in the fellowship with a closed mind toward a Power greater than myself. ΞΌ

Posted: Sat, Jul 5, 2008 02:08:57 PM

however, looking at the Second Step in depth, i am pleased to find that i can choose any concept of a Higher Power that appeals to me.
so i could go on and on about process, or wax poetically about my current concept of a POWER GREATER THAN ME, or do both. i have done this before, and i am not in the mood to do so today. i am in a strange sort of mood, feeling like i need to run away and do nothing today. even though i have tons of stuff to do. so here i sit, thinking back on my morning "quiet time" and what came to me then, was that today i needed to take care of my stuff. especially this web site. so although i am not feeling like doing anything. i do believe i will get on with that particular project and deal with deadlines missed tomorrow.
it is a good day to recover and i am sure that this feeling, like all others will pass, that seems almost guaranteed.

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

2) Those three methods (of government)
Thought olden ways in elegance did fail
And made these names their want of worth to veil;
But simple views, and courses plain and true
Would selfish ends and many lusts eschew.
