defining God...ourselves...and the world around us...

i was in a meeting this past friday night, filled with recovering drunks at different levels in their recovery, and the topic of faith and God was the focus…

it is very humbling to be brought back down to the reality of what is, and know that regardless of whether we understand it or not, able to define it or not, there is a force within us, that is tapped into when our little wants and desires get out of the way, and we allow it to happen.

i can remember very early in my recovery, using the serenity prayer saved me from going insane…it has helped me grow emotionally and see things more clearly.

when we can see things clearly, and not allow our awareness to be clouded by emotional and mental confusion, we can make more intelligent, and healthier decisions based on reality.

the God of my understanding has changed drastically, but this is due to the fact that although we as humans are limited, what we call God, is not…and when we become willing and allow ourselves to be open to change, change finds us as the universe unfolds itself before us, moment by moment, with wisdom and joyful grace, allowing us to dance in harmony with.

this magnificent all creating force breathed into being all that there is, and because ofthat, all that there is, is touched by it, even if that touch of divinity is not understood.

as we struggle to define ourselves, each other, and the world and universe we occupy, in the context of that creative force that we are not seperate from, we must remember to just…breath and be…without all the mental distractions and emotional attachments that limit…and instead, allow that creative force to define us with truth, in every moment anew…only then can we break down the barriors that prevent us from being free.

it's a process…a journey…filled with joy in the midst of sorrow, as our very life path unveils it's own awareness awakening…
