All Lightness and Hope

When I heard the words, “I am powerless over food,” I felt a surge of relief, a letting loose of a heavy burden, and my spirit danced with joy. With the obsession broken, I am all lightness and hope, reaching out like a child toward the growth that was lost to me. ~ For Today (Kindle Locations 2605-2607).

Aha! That’s it!
So simple, so basic,
so obvious – now that you said it.
And such a relief
to find others of my ilk,
more of my kind,
a gathering of kin.
Enough to do a happy dance
and to know that Snoopy
must have learned some great truth,
some eternal fact
as mysterious and obvious
as the simple confession,
“I’m powerless over food.”
It’s not my fault!
