๐ŸŒฌ fitting the spiritual, ๐ŸŒซ

into the natural pattern of recovery, living and growth, is something that i seem to do auto-magically these days.it is more than a little ironic that just a few days after writing about writing, it was suggested by the daily reading that i meditate about meditation. i did not quite follow that suggestion, as i sat and listened this morning, but i certainly considered the nature and pattern of my spiritual practice. since finding a path that i could be “true” to, things just click into place, even if i have no idea what the product looks like, now or any time in the future. it may be, that when push comes to shove and i am faced with the unthinkable, i may revert to the spiritual path into which i was born to, way back when. i am quite averse to that in this current slice ‘o time, but i can be open to whatever as the need arises. one thing i am certain of, at least sitting in the comfort of my home, with a belly full of breakfast and the desire to stay clean, is that i get more from my spiritual practice, than i ever considered was possible.
moving into the here and now and certainly more practical part of my life, what i did “hear” this morning was a feeling of everything is as it needs to be. i can fret and fume about all that is beyond my control or i can just accept what is. i may act6ually get my ticket completed and pushed today, at work. i am fairly certain that i have demonstrated what i need to demonstrate to keep my position for today. i could not sleep last night and i am not use whether or not that is a symptom of over-training, the coffee beverage i had at 6:00 PM or considering what i have to accomplish before i head north, later this afternoon. it really does not matter, as that is also outside of the realm of things i can change. i do know, that as i sat, i felt a deep and abiding connection. what that connect was to is something i no longer care to analyze. all i know is that when i came back to this world, figuratively anyhow, i was refreshed, renewed and yes hopeful about today. no sense in over-thinking this, because the theme of my day day seems to be accept and move on. so i guess that means it is time to go pound out some miles and get my sweat on, after all, fitness is not something that happens by “ASS-MOSIS.” 🤣 🤣 🤣

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 2

3) He who gets as his own all under heaven does so by giving himself
no trouble (with that end). If one take trouble (with that end), he
is not equal to getting as his own all under heaven.
