Doing yard work yesterday at Gails, it was wonderful. I was not in any pain. The doctors said it would be 4-6 weeks for my broken and bruised ribs to heal; it’s only been 2 weeks! The rational mind tells me to mark the date on my calendar and rest; the spiritual and creative part of me says to trust the process and go day by day.
Yesterday morning, meeting with Joe C., we caught up on life and our travels. Only a few years ago he had been in the hospital, a victim of an almost fatal surfing accident. He has recovered 100%, traveling, hiking and skiing. Recovery is such a mystical process.
Last night at the Zoom meeting, we talked about Concept V - the "Right of Appeal." It’s the doorway to prevent tyranny in the group; even when there is a majority opinion, we are asked to step up and express ourselves. The still, small voice does have a voice!
A Vision For You explains how the tyrant alcohol had become King; loneliness & self-pity had surrounded me. I had seen no way out; you told me to trust the process, that with faith in a new power I could find new freedom. Like a Blackbird singing in the dead of night, you gave me wings to fly.
Far better than a Vodka/Red Bull!
Thank you for a solution; to develop Something outside the space between my ears; may I continue to open my heart to new wonders and experiences.
