so as many of you may know, i am not the most prayerful guy in the world. in fact, when given the choice to shoot off a quick prayer, or to still my mind and listen, i choose listening. i have found that for me, NOT asking for this or that, is a better manner in which to interact with the POWER that fuels my recovery. i DO ask, ever day, for the power to stay clean and i thank GOD, for another day clean at the other end of my conscious 18 or so hours. with all of that behind me now, i can safely say that meditation is not just for mornings now!
so i meditate, twice a day in a very planned and calculated manner. in the morning to exercise my 11TH STEP and in the evening to consider my day via STEP 10. in between? well in between on a normal day, there is more than likely to be several periods in my day, when i pause, quiet my mind and allow my self the opportunity to “feel” my way to the next right thing to do. there may be no conscious prayer there, but there is certainly a conscious effort to remove myself from my self-will and attempt to feel my way into my true will for myself. this paradigm shift has been coming for quite sometime, but it has only been revealed to my innermost self, over the course of the past few months. as i reach for something more than my input on life, living and the pursuit of happiness, it is comforting to know that there is a POWER that fuels my recovery, and it is up to me, to listen with my heart and my gut, to what IT is telling me.
i really am at a loss for any more words, but i will perform this Public Service Announcement: The Kings are at St Andrews at 10 AM, Saturday morning.
