โ†” dreams โ†”

Posted: Thu, Jun 9, 2005 05:12:35 AM

the problem with some dreams is that i find when they come true, i lack the imagination to move on. i realized one dream a year ago when i finally got a college degree after giving that dream away to my active disease. now i am stuck trying to go beyond that. i know that the nature of my insanity is that i block myself from realizing my hopes and dreams, including using my native imagination to go beyond my mundane day-to-day existence and dare to dream once more.
without a doubt, my life today is so much better than it was when i started this journey, that i almost feel afraid to dream that it can get any better. and if it is fear that is blocking me from looking beyond, then i need to learn to replace those fears with the faith that there can still be more. replace my self-will with my own true will, to allow myself to see possibilities beyond what i can see now.
so here i am at the end of a second step, looking once more to turn over my will and my life into the care of a POWER GREATER THAN ME, and let the chains of my current insanity break and disappear.

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) The perception of what is small is (the secret of) clear-sightedness;
the guarding of what is soft and tender is (the secret of) strength.
