That we are born good...that we seek it, nuture it. We learn to be agnostic. We learn to be atheist. We learn to be corrupt. Our psyche is predetermined. We learn to alter it. Modify and codify it. We learn to improve our belief in God or our higher power. We loose our way. We choose to loose our way. No matter what reason. Religion, for many, defines or controls their lives. I am here today because I was able to overcome my own loss of reason. With my God's guidance, my life is now returning to the state it once was. Open. Honest. Unfearing. Pure. Nuturing. Peaceful. Content. I think people are born to believe in goodness.. That we are born good…that we seek it, nuture it.

The progress I have made is that I am lots less resistant to asking for human help, and the corners I paint myself into seem to be a little bigger than when I started coming around. My experience tells me to beware those sober folk who proclaim that their lives are coming up aces... Thanks for the reminder that it works when you work it! This is the way it works for me.

To me it's a case of not being able to see the forest (spirituality) for the trees (the stuff of life). How can this be? Every piece of the stuff of life has value. It supports where I want to be or proves the results of my former research were less than desirable, where I no longer want to go. When I look at life without one foot stuck in the past, I see the unmistakeable evidence of how spirituality got me here. It wasn't one big boom like Bill had., but lots of stepping stones taking me to hope and serenity. Taken all together, I can see the forest. Not only am I teachable, I'm still learning. “How often do we sit in AA meetings and hear the speaker declare, “But I haven’t yet got the spiritual angle.”” This subject is dear to my heart.
