my insanity
posted: Mon, Nov 8, 2004 05:11:06 AM
it is a nice reminder to remember the depths of my insanity in active addiction and how my sanity has been restored over time.
i forget what i was like when i got here and how insane i really was even a month ago. my "forgetter" works very well and i often get caught up in chaos of daily life and forget to be grateful for the restoration of what sanity i have today.
and i am truly grateful that i can be more sane than ever and that i have friends and tools that can guide me back towards the source of sanity -- GOD

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 2
2) It is only by this moderation that there is effected an early return
(to man's normal state). That early return is what I call the repeated
accumulation of the attributes (of the Tao). With that repeated accumulation
of those attributes, there comes the subjugation (of every obstacle
to such return). Of this subjugation we know not what shall be the
limit; and when one knows not what the limit shall be, he may be the
ruler of a state.
