not just my individual beliefs and desires. i lend my thoughts and beliefs to the development of a group conscience. of course i cut off the final outcome, and I ACCEPT the results of the group conscience process.
so as i sit here preparing to start the final leg of my journey, i am struck by how much i still want to influence the group conscience process, when i am in service meetings. i guess i am just another member, warts and all, who has more than one passionate belief about how to carry the message.
so with that thought in mind, i am going to get started on my journey of a thousand or more miles and perhaps as the day wears on, and i get some time back, i will write a bit more.

flowing (stream);--it becomes the centre to which tend (all the small
states) under heaven.
