listening for GOD's voice within

Posted: Thu, Nov 25, 2004 09:44:56 AM

reflecting quickly back on my recovery has opened my eyes to the where i came from.
lately, i have felt that i am on a journey through the dark that i can neither see the beginning nor the end. i am not walking in darkness as there is illumination around me. this is not a fearful journey and i am currently suffering no privations.
today's reading allows me to at least remember where this journey started and the general direction of where i am going. the calm still voice inside reassures me that i am doing what i need to and to just keep the FAITH. the destination is irrelevant and truly an outside issue. the imp[ortant part is the journey itself and what i need to remain steadfast and courageous through LIFE.

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

3) A skilful (commander) strikes a decisive blow, and stops. He does
not dare (by continuing his operations) to assert and complete his
mastery. He will strike the blow, but will be on his guard against
being vain or boastful or arrogant in consequence of it. He strikes
it as a matter of necessity; he strikes it, but not from a wish for
mastery.
