loving act to allow others to love me. i never really considered that as any sort of fact, back in the day. in fact, i believed that i was too broken for anyone to really see me, much less love me. the end result was a loveless marriage and a string of failed relationships which i beliived was my destiny. even before i came out from undfer the shadow of my lie, i was more than certain that i could bve loving and myabe, just maybe, worthy of being loved.
this morning, as i over sat and heard my alternate daily reading in the depths, what kept bubbling up was a sense of wonder on how i made it through to that last FIFTH STEP before i found the ways and means to allow myself to actually be “seen.” now that i get to figure out who i am and where i just might be going, i see that those who love me, love me for who i am and not despite me. as i grow more comfortable in my new skin, i can be sure that i willl feel worthy of being loved, warts and all.
anyway, i have to go deal with the self-entitled at work and get thiis posted to the interwebs. it is a good day to be clean and a good day to allow myself to be seen and to be loved.

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

4) Therefore the sage desires what (other men) do not desire, and
does not prize things difficult to get; he learns what (other men)
do not learn, and turns back to what the multitude of men have passed
by. Thus he helps the natural development of all things, and does
not dare to act (with an ulterior purpose of his own).
