โ†” connection โ†”

Posted: Mon, Jan 10, 2005 06:23:40 AM

there some times in my recovery, especially recently when i have not only been ungrateful for a connection with GOD, but down right pissed-off. after all, how could this loving and caring power allow me to go through some of the stuff i have been through in the past 6 months.
this morning though after an interesting day down in Pueblo and the conversations that came after, the frenzied ride home and attendance at my home group, i am moving into a place where i am once again grateful, that i not only have a working concept of a Higher Power, but also a deep and strengthening relationship too.
regardless of the emotional and spiritual turmoil i have been through lately, or the chaos that seems to be swirling around me, it is part of a plan and a vision beyond my comprehension and that is okay today.
i am glad to be alive and able to feel everything i have been feeling today. yes i am passionate and emotional these days and that too is part of stuff that is beyond my understanding, my only hope is that my Higher Power provides me the tools necessary to integrate these new parts into the whole of me.

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

4) Therefore the (ruling) sage acts without claiming the results as
his; he achieves his merit and does not rest (arrogantly) in it:--he
does not wish to display his superiority.
