The Pit
Although the seasons
Come and go,
I pray that my sobriety
Will constantly grow.
For years on end
I’ve tried to quit,
To pull myself out
Of that deep, dark pit.
It was years ago
When I fell into the trap,
It’s filled with alcohol,
Drugs and crap.
The walls are soaked
With suffering and pain,
The guilt and remorse
Eat away at my brain.
I pulled myself [...]

Living in the moment
Doing the ‘do things’.
Being all that I can be
(All that You created me to be.)
Giving and loving
Being open
Doing for the Master.
Letting go for me
Is being unattached to the results.
It is not my responsibility
How the gift is received.
It is my responsibility
To have and use the God given ability
To respond to Spirit’s sweet Voice
That [...]

It gets better.
Everyday in every way
Life gets better and better.
The grief only tears out my heart every other minute.
I am working on my people skills.
I am working on my life.
I am allowing you in it.
I am working on my recovery.
I am working on learning, leaning and loving more
each day.
I am working on prayer, [...]

The girl’s were getting together to “dish the dirt“
I thought they would be planting seeds or something.
They were.
They were gossiping…seeds of ‘dirt’about another Soul.
When day is done they put our ashes in dirt.
We cleanse our Soul to release the dirt.
We pray.
Do our step work and take the dirt
To our sponsor and release to our Higher [...]

Tonight while sitting
on Soul’s bended knee
a curious thought
occurred to me
“Without the Master, where would I be?”
I do not wish to return to the darkness
before I was aware of the love
I do not wish to return
to the void.
I do not wish to be angry.
I do not wish to be sad.
I do not wish to return to [...]

You are pushing us away with your anger.
Are you not wanting to leave and afraid to stay?
Why have you left when you are not even gone?
“Life on life’s terms” is a phrase we have learned.
Why, I ask, with love am I not seeing it in action with you?
Why are you finding fault with those around [...]

You are compassionate
Understanding my stress when no one else can.
Your training in elder care
gives me a confidence
that nothing I am learning is new to you.
When my confusion and doubts come
You do not walk away.
You are there for me.
I need not mourn the loss of my youth
You are beside me.
You show me truth.
You [...]

The One I allow to see me
The One who hears me cry
The One who always loves me
The One who never asks why.
The One who walks beside me
When other friends have gone.
The One who can forgive me
For all the things I have done wrong.
The One who lives within me.
The One who fills the void.
The One [...]

May I hear your Voice
in the laughter of a child
in the kindness of a friend
May my heart be open to
mindfulness
that this your child
I would have harmed with my anger
I would have harmed with my gossip.
May I surrender
these character defects
to open my life to balance.
Then the Sunlight of the Spirit
will cleanse me as I obey.
Bringing balance
patience
beauty
into [...]

“Daddy, I will miss you
It is time for you to go
My tears they are for ‘happy’
I just want you to know.
I see the angels coming
They want you to be in peace
I release you now my Daddy.”
Then, the little girl bowed her head.
“If you miss me too much Daddy
As I am going to miss your touch
Just [...]
