😶 i have 🙊
posted: Tue, Oct 26, 2021 06:40:12 AM
nothing to hide, is quite admission from one such as myself who has hidden everything from mostly everyone for decades. even a year ago when i was just starting to nibble around the issues of the big lie that i accepted as the TRUTH, i was still in hiding. this morning i see the freedom in letting go of what was and moving forward into the process that is. the toughest problem for me continues to be accepting that i am not broken, nor have i really ever been broken. that was what bubbled up from the depths this morning and it is certainly a good notion to hold on to, as i move into this day.
ironically, there really are no “biggies” this morning. i am okay with how my life is today, just the way it is, sure i could be richer, younger, smarter or better looking, but all of that aside, i really am good today and ready to get moving on my SIXTH STEP. i guess when i have nothing to say, it is better to say nothing at all, save for it is yet another good day to be clean, just for today.

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 2
1) There is nothing in the world more soft and weak than water, and
yet for attacking things that are firm and strong there is nothing
that can take precedence of it;--for there is nothing (so effectual)
for which it can be changed.
