to trust in the care of the POWER that fuels my recovery.
i currently not eating thanksgiving leftovers and pondering the meaning of life the universe and everything. as i move deeper and deeper into my ELEVENTH STEP., i am struck by a bit of dissonance between the language and what i am coming to see as my path. not that is is anything new, it has been part and parcel of my spiritual landscape over the past few weeks, but today, after a chain of readings that seem to address the very spots that i am rubbing up against and are starting to make me raw, i am finally doing my best to let go and surrender. no not what i see, that would without a doubt be backtracking. what i am going to let go of, is trying reconcile the language to what i am coming to see. there really is nothing there for me to get my panties all knotted up, about. what there is, is a pet peeve for me, the lack of precision in the language i need to choose to use. yes GOD, HE and HIS, just do not fit. HIGHER POWER, IT and ITs is closer, but still is lacking in how i see things. the problem as i see it, is not that i have to change what i am coming to see, but it is how i share about it. i want my peers to get what i am saying and my fear is that if i dwell in the house of being different and unique, i will convince myself and them that i have moved beyond recovery and am somehow been cured.
going back to the three disturbing realizations, which i own today, i see that path is one of certain destruction for me, and destruction of myself is not what i am about today. anyhow i cannot be patient, so i am going to run to staples and see if i can get the ink i need and use my coupon, before it expires. yes i know it is a bad weekend to go shopping, but necessity is the mother of all invention.

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

2) All things depend on it for their production, which it gives to
them, not one refusing obedience to it. When its work is accomplished,
it does not claim the name of having done it. It clothes all things
as with a garment, and makes no assumption of being their lord;--it
may be named in the smallest things. All things return (to their root
and disappear), and do not know that it is it which presides over
their doing so;--it may be named in the greatest things.
