โ anxiously plotting, struggling, planning, worrying -- none of these suffice โ

i can be sure that if i turn my problems over to my concept of a HIGHER POWER, the answers will come. not as soon as i would like them to, nor in a form that i can readily access. my experience has been, that the answers to my problems come quickly, but dang it, there is a bit of work for me to obtain them. not that my concept of a HIGHER POWER is some sort of trickster, that places the answers just out of my reach for perverse reasons, far from it. no the answers are quite available for me to access, if allow myself to be present for the answers. what do i mane by that> well for one,, it means i have to actively listen to what is being said to me and around me. i have to actively be present for the events of my life as they unfold across the course of my day. and i have to empty my head of thoughts and do my utmost best to be a vessel when i meditate in the morning, which takes the kind of practice, that an addict like me needs to do every single day.
so why bother, if the answers are not falling from the skies like manna, available to pick up with no effort at all. well, for one, the process i described above, can be for me, as effortless as walking across a open plain. and honestly, as i do it more and more it does become easier each day. the answers i seek, the solutions i desire, and the gifts i need, have top come friom somewhere, and that somewhere has yet to start sending me a daily e-mail, with the answers to all my questions and concerns. but the answers to some of the things that puzzle me the most do come every day in an e-mail, in the form of a daily reading from the literature of the fellowship that has provided me the means to get this far. in fact, it is the basis of this blog, and i find it a good seed to start my morning meditation.
but be that as it may, it is up to me, to let go and let the answers to my most intractable problems come from somewhere else. it is true that i can start to trust my feelings and my intuition, but those are a gift from the source of answers and nothing that is inherent in me. so now i am feeling it is time to sign-off and get some work done, before i crash and burn adios mi amigos.
