my connection to others, locking me within myself. just an FYI, i do not always have the same emotional reaction that my friends and peers do, to the daily readings. although i do not try and attach a value judgement too what i read, i do have emotional reactions. i will never say i “like” or “dislike” a reading, but i will speak up when i think something is corny, trite or cliché. this morning? well, for me a bit trite. ironically, the my connections to my family, society and the fellowship is exactly what the focus of my step work has been this time around. as i am approaching the center of the so-called maintenance steps, i see now, more than ever how that work is starting to play out. each and every day, i suddenly have the desire to be better connected, and although the giving and receiving of love may be what is happening in the background, the vehicle i use to be better connected is my concern, my presence, and my undivided attention. i guess, one might say, that learning to respect others, play well with others and laugh and cry with others, is another way to manifest the act of love exchange.
so when i wrap my head around the notion, i see that what i thought may be trite, perhaps is not trite at all. anyhow, i have to get rolling down the road to Broomfield, as the new job beckons. it is a great day to be clean and certainly a day to be hopeful, i can start to mwork today.
