my time fighting for the outcome i desire is my default behavior. listening for the answers from the POWER that fuels my recovery is something i strive to do. am i good at it? well, i am better than i used to be, to say anything more would be an exaggeration. i am still not certain if the prayer that i do daily is superstition or helping matters, BUT, and yes it a HUGE one, i am okay with keeping as part of my daily routine.
i am way behind the curve at my new job and that just may be because i am expecting more than i can deliver, as it is only my second day. i wanted to hit the ground running and it feels as if i am crawling. as this day goes on, i certainly am looking forward to actually doing some work. i may have found how to get rolling in the morning, while there is still light in the morning at 6:45 AM. i am sure that as the seasons change, that too will need to change and i am not sure how that will work out.
what i do “know” this morning, is that my new job did not hire me to fill a seat. i want to fit in and be a part of their solution, rather than worrying about not being “up to snuff.” that sort of thing triggers a reaction for me to pray, see above. what i am going to do instead, is to let go, have a bit of FAITH in my ability to learn and allow myself the freedom to do so. it is a good day to be clean and a better day to see what i can accomplish.

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

The valley spirit dies not, aye the same;
The female mystery thus do we name.
Its gate, from which at first they issued forth,
Is called the root from which grew heaven and earth.
Long and unbroken does its power remain,
Used gently, and without the touch of pain.
