ฮฑ finding serenity in surrender ฯ‰

Posted: Wed, Nov 23, 2005 05:36:11 AM

well the past two days have certainly been an exercise in surrender for me. none of the desktop computers i personally own are working well and now i am working on a computer for someone i really cannot stand. and the amazing thing about all of this is that i am not stressed nor am i railing about what i have to do. yes it would have been easier for me to not have a little adversity in my life but that was not in the cards.
what i have been learning is that surrendering is better for me than fighting, it takes a whole lot effort and the results are almost always better than i could have imagined.
so what has been happening, i have been letting go and surrendering, and i have been finding a serenity that i hardly expected.
of course this morning i am already off and running again to get a few things done and maybe, GOD will provide me the tools to accomplish what i desire today. IT COULD HAPPEN and i think i will let it!

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) Therefore the sage seeks to satisfy (the craving of) the belly,
and not the (insatiable longing of the) eyes. He puts from him the
latter, and prefers to seek the former.
