โˆž life is a series of decisions, actions, and consequences. โˆž

Posted: Sat, Aug 23, 2008 11:37:20 AM

my faith gives me the courage and direction to make good decisions and the strength to act on them. decision-making and its consequences, how apt for this morning. for some reason, i have let go of my decision to have surgery, although this respite is probably temporary, i will go with the feeling that it is right thing to do, and that everything will come out okay.
do i have more faith or courage over the past twenty-four hours? maybe. what i can say, is that when i woke up this morning it just felt right, how that came to be is a gift horse, that i choose to accept without looking into its mouth. yes it may be full of Greeks waiting to jump out and ambush me. be that as it may, accepting that decision means that i have a bunch of projects to complete over the next ten days or so, and that means working this weekend and next.
anyhow, these days, i am coming to accept that possibly i have grown an intuition that is spiritually based rather than addiction based, and that i can make good decision on a more consistent manner then ever before. so it is off to clean off my desk and get the stuff accomplished that has been languishing for quite a bit of time.
TATA FOR NOW!

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) There is always One who presides over the infliction death. He
who would inflict death in the room of him who so presides over it
may be described as hewing wood instead of a great carpenter. Seldom
is it that he who undertakes the hewing, instead of the great carpenter,
does not cut his own hands!
