of change. man oh man has there been a bunch of it in the last twenty-four. actually, nothing that i did not expect but when the final word is put out, it still was a shock to the system. it has been said, by me as well as though much wiser than me, that CHANGE is not only a part of being alive, it is something that needs to be embraced, rather than fought. yes i know that entropy means that effort needs to be put into systems, in order to keep them from returning to chaos, but sometimes, it feels as if the energy i am putting in, is somehow not paying off, as the changes i am seeing, in maintaining order, are not the changes i want or desire. so once again, the face of the unknown future, scares the living daylights out of me.
the solution? well based on what the reading sad this morning, is FAITH. FAITH that the POWER that fuels my recovery, GOD if you will, will continue to provide me the spiritual abundance that i have grown accustomed to getting. it is FAITH that will sustain me, and FAITH that no matter what, i will get what i need to stay clean today, and more than likely in that uncertain future.
i know how corny and yes superstitious that sounds, but in the here and now, it is something i cling to and be assured of having, IF i continue to allow that POWER to manifest the changes in me, that need to happen. today, i will walk forward into this cold and snowy day, certain that all i need to do is let go, and allow the world to spin as it will. whether it is one religion or another claiming that they are being persecuted, a presidential candidate saying something that is so outrageous that i cannot abide by it, or just more snow, what ever happens, to me and around me, is not only tolerable, but acceptable. it is a good day to be clean and change is part of tall that goodness.
