isolated and alone, is a state of being i seldom arrive at these days. that is not to say that i walk in the light of fellowship with my fellow human beings, ever single minute of every single day, but compared to where i was, even a year ago, i am a whole lot more connected than i ever was. this whole new take on my life since i came out from under the rock of the belief that stymied my inner self being shown to the world has led to all sorts of consequences that i could have never predicted. living life as myself and inviting others to see me as i really am, has created a dynamic within me that seems to affect all that i am and what i choose to share with those in my life. intimacy, for me anyhow, has taken a whole new look and what i once believed i could share with others has expanded beyond my wildest dreams.
so that does it for the “Susie Sunshine” part of this exercise, today, i am drowning in concern about actually having my job after the First of January, as my employer has not officially given me the word and i have been writing some very “buggy” code. what that means for me today, is to finish “correcting” what i overlooked and move on. as i drove though the fog this morning, what kept thinking about was how i missed the clues about where to look yesterday afternoon, when i started to figure out what i “forgot.” today, as i consider what i need to do, i see that my lack of knowledge about how this workflow is supposed to go left me assuming that i had everything done. before i jump into anything else, however, i need a refill on my coffee and quick trip to get my two hundred and fifty steps. so i think i will post this and amble along through my day in the office, attempting to correct what i did not know and present a finished and polished solution. my recovery is like that as well. when i let go of who i was and who i may want to be, i can and will be comfortable enough to share who i am, just for today.

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

3) Therefore he who would administer the kingdom, honouring it as
he honours his own person, may be employed to govern it, and he who
would administer it with the love which he bears to his own person
may be entrusted with it.
