Hello all. My apologies for falling short of the expediency to which you are accustomed with regard to these entries. I have been, and still am, suffering from a sinus infection and forgot all about it. But fear not intrepid warriors, I have a doctor's appointment scheduled for this afternoon, and he will either give me a prescription for an antibiotic or I will get it through the prison system after I assault him.
But enough about my travails and empty threats; the meeting was a success as usual. Nadine started by saying she was a bit miffed at Beck because she hates to have it repeatedly suggested that she needs to sit daily.
We discussed authority issues.....and no, no one suggested that I take first prize in that area, much to my surprise. A distinction was made between a "teacher" and an "authority." This led us to note that life is more "grey" than it is black and white, that life is our greatest teacher, and that the ultimate authority must reside within us.
We talked about how to deal with complaining friends in a skillful manner and how, through experience and time, trusting oneself is the key since each person and situation must be assessed separately.
Next meeting: Our next meeting will be held at the home of our traveling sisters, Ginny and Claudine, on November (November already??) 20th.
Readings: The next discussion will be on the selections from the next section (Section II)
