Much to our relief, we discovered we did not need to consider another’s conception of God. Our own conception, however inadequate, was sufficient to make the approach and to effect a contact with Him. As soon as we admitted the possible existence of a Creative Intelligence, a Spirit of the Universe underlying the totality of things, we began to be possessed of a new sense of power and direction, provided we took other simple steps. We found that God does not make too hard terms with those who seek Him. ~ Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition (Kindle Locations 844-847).

Construct a God. Long before Minecraft,
Ruby on Rails, any of the ultra-modern
phenomena so beyond the 1930’s modern!
But we are to construct a God, clumsy,
inadequate as our attempts may be!
Admit the possibility of Power beyond me,
past your grasp, unorthodox as may be…
and a new sense (recognition), an idea
of Power, of direction, and it’s a start…
a sufficient start to recognize this God.
this Power who starts with fondness,
with acceptance of those of us bold enough
to seek him, to reach for his hand.
