She suggested that I borrow her Higher Power while I was trying to define my own. If that was not big enough, I could take all the Higher Powers from everyone at our big meeting. It reminded me of taking little pieces of clay from here and there until I had a big pile. ~Voices of Recovery (Kindle Locations 655-657).

A collection of Higher Powers?
God, Allah, the Tao, Ahone, Keri,
Great Spirit, Horus, Thoth, Ishvara,
Ghagavathi, Ahura Mazda…
a collection of higher powers.
The group, Howard (be thy name),
GUS (guy upstairs), nature,
the universe, demiurge,
Mars, Venus, Pluto, Thor…
a collection of higher powers.
The chair that holds me up,
the rainbow, the ocean, the wind…
We came to believe a power
greater than ourselves
could restore us to sanity.
And as we felt our way through
learning what this might mean
we also came to understand
this was an organization…
a program of recovery, rather…
that left the details
to the individual
and that person’s needs,
willingness to embrace,
and personal understanding.
