this morning i am feeling somewhere between great and crummy. once more a section in the current step i am writing has kicked my butt. the daily meditation however assures me that i am on the right path. you know "... i will work my next step." this is little consolation for me, but i do know that i am progressing in a direction that will lead me to become the person i was meant to be. this means that i have to cooperate with the process and not fight it. this means that i have to persevere and continue to do what is front of me, regardless of how i think it will make me feel. and for me right here, right now, it means that i have to continue writing my first step out. i have yet to dies of a feeling and i have yet to died from step work, even though lately there are days when i think dieing may be preferable to feeling. but i will not do anything to drastic today. but i will call some friends and fellow travelers and let them know that i have been better, because that is what i NEED to do to stay clean today.

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 1
2) Therefore when one is making the Tao his business, those who are
also pursuing it, agree with him in it, and those who are making the
manifestation of its course their object agree with him in that; while
even those who are failing in both these things agree with him where
they fail.
