Just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean, so must I never live my life for itself, but always in the experience which is going on around me. ~ Albert Schweitzer

Isolation, a habit,
a comfort zone,
a refuge from anger,
from hurtful words,
from violence.
We’ve been there,
but now we’re here —
in recovery, in hope!
God is in me like the ocean
in a wave,
not like a blueberry in a muffin.
And I’m in God, where he is,
what he is, like he is
so long as I surrender,
so long as I seek
to know and to do
his next right thing for me.
