love into action by carrying the recovery message today. i have to admit, when it comes to topics about love and loving others, i am a bit of a cynic. it is i can feel, receive and give love, BUT i am far from comfortable talking and writing about it, even with a minute clean. the topic feels corny and a bit over-the-top, for my taste. be that as it may, i certainly do feel loved in the rooms and IF i can spread love by carrying a strong message of recovery, then the world is a little bit better off. saying much more than that, gets me into fronting a person i am not and these days, i want to be honest about who and what i am.
the person i am today, well that is quite a feat to describe in a few words. it is true that when i arrived i knew very little about what love was even though i was not totally stupid to the notion. as i stayed clean, i never have come up with a definition that fits, so when all else fails, i just add it to the “ i do not know what it is, but i know when i feel it” bucket. i know many of my peers can wax poetically about love and poets and authors have been doing it forever. i do not fit it either of those buckets, so i am content to live with what i feel and leave the beautiful and poetic phrasing to those who are better able to describe love. what i do know today, is that by carrying a message and focusing on the message, i need not fret about what i do not know and live in the world of what i feel, just for today.
