x2 Step 75 – Journal Step 74 - Peace abides with me today.

Today: Step 75 - Today I will listen to my Self. (MP3)

Greetings All –

From the journal Step 74 - Peace abides with me today.

6:40 a.m. Wednesday, November 1, 2000 –

Yesterday – I presented my ideas to the Rural Prosperity Commission. I got to tell much of it.

the region allows a locality to frame itself in a larger context.

– have regional focal points for specific items/functions.

6:25 p.m. Home from work. A different energy now in my approach to work. I can keep developing/selling regional intelligence. I need to broaden the base. All my time can go to RI –

I'm learning through experience and speaking from experience.

10:50 p.m. Home – tired – can't do much… TV sucks me in – but, I'm tired…so I'm easily distracted. I should be organizing & writing…energy?

→regionalism can't be – it can't work – it really has no meaning – because no one knows what a region is. (Idealism – all – isms our ideals)

→position in the world – where am I? Traveling with Joe C---. Getting his life story, history & worldview. He's a devout Catholic – military man who is at his place in the world and doing what is needed. The Navy was his career – and he did a good job of it; became a strong teacher. He's not saving the world. He's doing what he can.

What does the entry have to do with the Step? Today, March 15, 2015, it was comforting to practice: “Peace abides with me today.” The resolution of work in this post is, I see now, peace at work on this day. Let us continue.

Note: If you’ve some interest due to this or other Steps, you should go to the beginning blog post. From here you will learn about Steps to Knowledge and can begin it on the day that makes sense; then progress as needed. You can use the posts on this blog as a companion if it helps. They will remain in order in the archives - one post per Step.

Often it takes 18 months to get through the Steps once. For this blog, the pace is one-a-day, but it really makes no difference how fast you do it, only that you begin, persist and repeat. Posts here provide a trail that may let you have a virtual companion when and if you want one. One may have to study alone, as I did in the beginning. There are other Steps students blogging their experience and you might find a person more like you as a companion, or use a number of such Steps journeys. There are options as well through the Free School of the New Message.
