When we walk on a bridge or pier we see the “right side,” the side designed for traffic, the side meant to be exposed to the world. But what holds us up is the unseen underside, the structure that makes the rest possible.
What beliefs are so foundational for you that you rarely think about them?
The spirit of reasoned inquiry reborn in the Enlightenment are foundational to me and those who question the basis of science and the principals for which true scientific inquiry are practiced are a threat to reason and liberty.
For better and for worse, perhaps because of lots of change in my life growing up, I carry with me the awareness that things that “seem” stable in my life could change at any moment. I think this undergirding awareness compels me to appreciate the beauty in my life, each and every day, to savor, savor, savor.
Thanks for the thought-provoking prompt. Blessings to you all. May we all savor the beauty in our lives, each and every day, however and wherever we find it!
What beliefs are so foundational for you that you rarely think about them?…
The spiritual principles of the 12-Step Fellowship — I have since moved-on, to a “harm reduction” model, to live my life by; but I will always suggest/guide any new sponsee/accolyte/student/recovering addict towards spending 3-5 years in a 12-Step program, to lay a solid foundation of spiritual principles, by which they can set the course of their Life’s Path … no matter what Journey they are taking.
Namaste & Bright Blessings! )O(
