Colors blind the eye.
Sounds deafen the ear.
Flavors numb the taste.
Thoughts weaken the mind.
Desires wither the heart.
The Master observes the world
but trusts his inner vision.
He allows things to come and go.
His heart is open as the sky.
|...all being begins with non-doing. When I manage to sit even in the most sordid of spots, I can achieve perfect peace and ease, or 'the peace that passes all understanding'. Every situation will pass - this frame of mind gives us space from aversion, attachment and indifference to suffering.
Today marks the 55&56th/90 meetings in the Death Star. Shortly I get to go free - and so can they - if they are willing to pay a price that is greater than their kingdom.
There is great peace in silence - I am growing exponentially each day, for I no longer worry about how wise I shall sound. Rather I get to practice commpasionate listening...and when the sharing draws from the well of unconsciousness, I get to work on my steps. What a deal! I am truly grateful for that room - warts and all. They have brought me to a place that is indescribably wonderful. AA works under all conditions - that sordid room saved my life, and for that I am eternally grateful.
God bless Alcoholics Anonymous.
