โ‰  i am an addict every day, but today โ‰ 

Posted: Sat, Jan 28, 2012 03:15:12 PM

i have the choice to be a recovering addict.
i started writing this at 7:30 this morning, and left in a hurry to go get stuff done, actually i distracted myself looking at a bright and shiny new price of software and ran out of time.
what is the BIG DEAL ANYHOW

WELL BRENDA E
has 21 years clean today

while that may not like s big deal to some, to me, it is an affirmation of HOPE. i GET that i will never be free from addiction, that i am different from the other 85% of humanity, BUT with an active program of recovery in my life, the HOPE is that i, too can one day number my clean time in decades, as well.
anyhow, not too much to say, except that i am grateful for those who have gone before me, and hopefully i can provide just the smallest shred of HOPE to those who walking in my wake. it is after all a great day to be clean.

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 1

The valley spirit dies not, aye the same;
The female mystery thus do we name.
Its gate, from which at first they issued forth,
Is called the root from which grew heaven and earth.
Long and unbroken does its power remain,
Used gently, and without the touch of pain.
