A simple religious idea:
Believe as you want to believe,
but know you’re not god,
that a power greater than you
can heal your soul, bring sane living,
bless you beyond belief
when you decide to surrender
that which you couldn’t manage anyway.
A practical program of action:
Not some philosophy or theology,
they’re called steps for a reason.
It’s  not grand ideas, eloquent words,
the right frame of mind.
It’s doing what the book says,
listing grievances against us,
then getting real. Admitting the truth,
becoming honest and humble,
making amends, walking the walk
every day, not just the easy ones,
meditating, following, and serving.
Nothing complicated.
Just a simple and practical miracle.
