It is indeed from the experience of beauty and happiness, from the occasional harmony between our nature and our environment that we draw our conception of the divine life.
George Santayana
Raised in church,
steeped in religion,
theologian,
biblical scholar,
many came like me,
joined hordes of others —
all the rest in the Rooms —
to recovery and understanding.
Knowledge doesn’t count,
membership doesn’t matter,
holy is not holy enough
to really grasp the vastness,
the intimacy of power
ruling the universe
but completely involved
in me, in my life,
in my choices.
In recovery.
