โˆž i learn to be honest, no matter what and โˆž

Posted: Tue, Sep 1, 2009 09:25:13 AM

i learn to refrain from doing things i might want to hide. i learn to accept responsibility for my actions.
okay so i am running a bit behind schedule this morning. i am grateful today for the values i have learned as a result of working the program, or should i better say, living a program, as that is what it has become these days. i really am not that far behind, as this is my final task before running away with the love of my life
oh BY the way --

Happy Clean Date Anniversary Kathy, NINE years clean is awesome, i am so grateful that you became the love of my life and you fill a part of me, that was always empty.

that too, is a value i have come to cherish, the ability to love without conditions. so as i walk through and drive through this day, i wish to be reminded that the only reason i have values of any sort, and values that are actually part of the man i wish to become, is because someone believed in me all those days ago, and fostered me into a manner of living that has led to things far beyond my wildest dreams. for that, i will always be in debt, and i repay that debt, each day i stay clean and learn to do something new.
so off to Pagosa Springs we go!

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 2

1) Without going outside his door, one understands (all that takes
place) under the sky; without looking out from his window, one sees
the Tao of Heaven. The farther that one goes out (from himself), the
less he knows.
