ΞΌ the fellowship is a wonderful learning environment for the recovering addict ΞΌ

Posted: Fri, May 8, 2009 09:57:13 AM

i am not made to feel stupid at meetings. instead, i find others who have been exactly where i have been and who have found a way out. so as i sit here this morning, at the end of quite a busy couple of hours, and i am still trying to do two or more things at the same time -- dang it!
okay, time to focus on just writing this. what i heard this morning, is that for me to continue the recovery process, i NEED to let go of what i think i know and open my mind to new ideas. i like that idea this morning, although there have been times in my journey when my favorite phrase was "I KNOW!" so as i think about remaining teachable, i also have to think about encouraging the men i sponsor to remain so also. this is neither the time nor the place to say anything more about that, except it is my responsibility to present the program to those who have chosen me as a sponsor, fully and completely.
so off to my scattered day and to see if out of the chaos i can actually accomplish something.

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

2) We should blunt our sharp points, and unravel the complications
of things; we should attemper our brightness, and bring ourselves
into agreement with the obscurity of others. How pure and still the
Tao is, as if it would ever so continue!
