โˆž practicing trust and faith โˆž

Posted: Wed, Feb 16, 2005 05:47:07 AM

this morning's reading was just what i needed today. i feel a bit out of sorts and i am having one of those days where i am afraid to touch anything at all. this is the perfect time to practice a few spiritual principles i guess, like FAITH and trust in GOD. i know what i want to do is run home. go back to bed and wake-up sometime tomorrow to a new day and possibly a different set of feelings and desires.
i know that this stuff will pass and that whatever GOD has in store for me today is exactly what is supposed to happen, but that knowledge in of itself is insufficient to keep me from wanting to run away. here is where i need to get out of my head and trust GOD! if i can follow the spiritual path that i talk about then i need to put aside what i want to do(desires) and do what i NEED to do, like go to work, get my hair cut, actually do some work and be present for today. in other words be here NOW and let myself live ’as if’ i feel like being productive, social, spiritual and together. that does not mean denying the way i feel, merely accepting that i have started off better days and i can face today and do the responsible thing -- LIVE LIFE, TRUST GOD, and BE PRESENT --.
such as it is and i am today.

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

2) This honouring of the Tao and exalting of its operation is not
the result of any ordination, but always a spontaneous tribute.
