α finding serenity in surrender ω
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!

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 1
4) When things have attained their strong maturity they become old.
This may be said to be not in accordance with the Tao: and what is
not in accordance with it soon comes to an end.
