... well i really do not know what is going on with me this morning, i am restless, and discontented. it just may be a reaction from being away at convention and then having to jump into a family social situation in a matter of hours. or it may be that i wrote my step writing assignment last night and still feel as if there is more that needs to be written. or it could just be that i am feeling a bit out of sorts today. whatever it is, i will move forward through my day and do what is expected of me. i also will take a moment before responding to anything, you know that silly pause before reacting thing that has saved my ass more than once.
the reading did provide some material for me to cogitate on and did remind me that it has been more than a few days since i sat down and talked to my sponsor. i do know that i need to speak with him before i share openly at a meeting. i also know that i can trust this process and do what is in front of me and right now that is doing the job i am paid for.

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 2
1) Man at his birth is supple and weak; at his death, firm and strong.
(So it is with) all things. Trees and plants, in their early growth,
are soft and brittle; at their death, dry and withered.
