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

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) Let the kingdom be governed according to the Tao, and the manes
of the departed will not manifest their spiritual energy. It is not
that those manes have not that spiritual energy, but it will not be
employed to hurt men. It is not that it could not hurt men, but neither
does the ruling sage hurt them.
