ฮ‘ when i think about my relationship with a Higher Power, it is important to remember which one i am ฮฉ

Posted: Mon, Mar 23, 2009 10:18:37 AM

the powerless one. GOD, the one with the power -- will fulfill half of the relationship by giving me exactly what i need, when i need it. it is upp to me to do my part. what exactly does that mean, do my part of maintaining my relationship with a HIGHER POWER? well, it does not mean grovelling, prostrating myself, or averting my eyes. it does not mean using archaic language. most importantly it does not mean living in FEAR of the results of asking for something. that is for me only, as the fellowship i am a member of, has very little to say about the concept of a HIGHER POWER save that it is a good idea to develop one, and maintain a relationship with one. others may find they need to do what i do not, and that is just finer by me, unless they start telling me what i should do, them i will have to kill them! well not really, but sometimes it feels like killing them is a good option.
that is enough about others for now, and perhaps for the rest of this post run mind dump. now i know why i usually write this before trotting around thew neighborhood. my mind is racing in a hundred different directions thinking about what i need to do, what i need to get started and what i can possibly finish this morning. so as i can not settle, i will take it for what it is, time for me to get cracking, carrying with the knowledge, that although i am the powerless one in my relationship with the divine, it does not mean that i have to wait around fro a booming voice to tell me what to do. all i have to do ids be present for what is happening around me and moive forward. so that is what i believe i will do.
