Surrender

Once I armed myself with fear
pieces of my pride
my armor built of sad regret
tears I never cried

Once I fought the battle
for safety - for control
armed with sharpened tongue
to spare the body - kill the soul

Once I lost the war
and found myself in the remains
bruised, but not broken
Bleeding but not slain

Once my heart surrendered
and found all for which I fought
The joy, the peace, the harmony
that sweet surrender brought

Readiness to Serve Others

. . . our Society has concluded that it has but one high mission -- to
carry the A.A. message to those who don't know there's a way out.
TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 151

The "Light" to freedom shines bright on my fellow alcoholics as each
one of
us challenges the other to grow. The "Steps" to self-improvement have
small beginnings, but each Step builds the "ladder" out of the pit of
despair to new hope. Honesty becomes my "tool" to unfurl the "chains"
which bound me. A sponsor, who is a caring listener, can help me to
truly
hear the message guiding me to freedom.

I ask God for the courage to live in such a way that the Fellowship
may be
a testimony to His favor. This mission frees me to share my gifts of
wellness through a spirit of readiness to serve others.

Twenty-Four Hours A Day by Hazelden/ June 22nd

A.A. Thought for the Day

Intelligent faith in that Power greater than ourselves can be
counted on to stabilize our emotions. It has an incomparable
capacity to help us look at life in balanced perspective. We
look up, around, and away from ourselves, and we see that nine
out of ten things that at the moment upset us will shortly
disappear. Problems solve themselves, criticism and unkindness
vanish as though they had never been. Have I got the proper
perspective toward life?

Meditation for the Day

A truly spiritual man or woman would like to have a serene mind.
The only way to keep calm in this troubled world is to have a
serene mind. The calm and sane mind sees spiritual things as
the true realities and material things as only temporary and
fleeting. That sort of mind you can never obtain by reasoning,
because your reasoning powers are limited by space and time.
That kind of a mind you can never obtain by reading, because
other minds are also limited in the same way. You can only have
that mind by an act of faith, by making the venture of belief.

Prayer for the Day

I pray that I may have a calm and sane mind. I pray that I may
look up, around, and away from myself.

Work Histories

Just as we have relationship histories, most of us have work
histories.

Just as we have a present circumstance to accept and deal with
in our relationship life, we have a present circumstance to accept
and deal with in our work life.

Just as we develop a healthy attitude toward our relationship
history - one that will help us learn and move forward - we can
develop a healthy attitude toward our work history.

I have worked many jobs in my life, since I was eleven years old.
Just as I have learned many things about myself through my
relationships, I have learned many lessons through my work.
Often, these lessons run parallel to the lessons I'm learning in
other areas of my life.

I have worked at jobs I hated but was temporarily dependent
on. I have gotten stuck in jobs because I was afraid to strike
out on my own and find my next set of circumstances.

I have been in some jobs to develop skills. Sometimes, I
didn't realize I was developing those skills until later on when
they become an important part of the career of my choice.

I have worked at jobs where I felt victimized, where I gave
and gave and received nothing in return. I have been in
relationships where I manufactured similar feelings.

I have worked at some jobs that have taught me what I
absolutely didn't want; others sparked in me an idea of what
I really did want and deserve in my career.

Some of my jobs have helped me develop character; others
have helped me fine tune skills. They have all been a place to
practice recovery behaviors.

Just as I have had to deal with my feelings and messages
about myself in relationships, I have had to deal with my
feelings and messages about myself, and what I believed I
deserved at work.

I have been through two major career changes in my life. I
learned that neither career was a mistake and no job was
wasted time. I have learned something from each job, and
my work history has helped create who I am.

I learned something else: there was a Plan, and I was being
led. The more I trusted my instincts, what I wanted, and what
felt right, the more I felt that I was being led.

The more I refused to lose my soul to a job and worked at it
because I wanted to and not for the paycheck, the less
victimized I felt by any career, even those jobs that paid a
meager salary. The more I set goals and took responsibility for
achieving the career I wanted, the more I could decide whether
a particular job fit into that scheme of things. I could understand
why I was working at a particular job and how that was going to
benefit me.

There are times I have even panicked at work and about where I
was in my employment history. Panic never helped. Trust and
working my program did.

There were times I looked around and wondered why I was where
I was. There were times people thought I should be someplace
different. But when I looked into myself and at God, I knew I was
in the right place, for the moment.

There were times I have had to quit a job and walk away in order
to be true to myself. Sometimes, that was frightening. Sometimes,
I felt like a failure. But I learned this: If I was working my program
and true to myself, I never had to fear where I was being led.

There have been times I couldn't survive on the small amount of
money I was receiving. Instead of bringing that issue to a
particular employer and making it his or her fault, I have had to
learn to bring the issue to my Higher Power and myself. I've
learned I'm responsible for setting my boundaries and establishing
what I believe I deserve. I've also learned God, not a particular
employer, is my source of guidance.

I've learned that I'm not stuck or trapped in a job no more than I
am in a relationship. I have choices. I may not be able to see
them clearly right now, but I do have choices. I've learned that
if I really want to take care of myself in a particular way on a job,
I will do that. And if I really want to be victimized by a job, I will
allow that to happen too.

I am responsible for my choices, and I have choices.

Above all else, I've learned to accept and trust my present
circumstances at work. That does not mean to submit; it does
\not mean to forego boundaries. It means to trust, accept,
then take care of myself the best I'm able to on any given day.

God, help me bring my recovery behaviors to my career affairs.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Keep It Simple*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

TWhat Is Zen?
by Mel Ash

Who are we really? What is really the meaning of Life? How can we
attain lasting happiness in the face of our seemingly endless
troubles? These questions are basic to our lives, and it is from these
questions that the practice of Zen has its birth.

Zen can be the compassionate scalpel that removes the layers of
accrued opinions, beliefs, and frozen expectations that stand between
us and true experience. Zen shows us that what we mistakenly call
ourselves, our personal identity, is really no more than a mask over
our true selves and natures. Beliefs, opinions, prejudices,
educational and cultural training, our family backgrounds: All these
are merely accidental factors, if you will. They are necessary tools
for survival and integration into the larger society, but they are not
really who you are.

Without falling back on convenient definitions of job, religion, sex
and so on, who and what are we? If you lose your job, will you lose
yourself? If you convert to another religion, do you substantially
change? It may seem so if you are overly attached to these limiting
definitions.

Despite all these changes, however, something remains the same. What
and where is the thing upon which we can stand firm? If the outside is
so unstable and prone to change, then it would make sense to look
within—to ourselves. But what are we on the inside? What in the world
are we?

Zen can help us answer these questions, although Zen itself is not an
answer. Zen is, if anything, the biggest question of all. It is the
question that becomes a wedge in the cracked shell of our true self,
prying us open to a meaning and truth that will have relevance to
ourselves alone. It is a dance and a tug-of-war with ourselves. It
demands no belief in anything, and instead insists on a great doubt
concerning everything we had heretofore taken for granted. While
belief is not a requirement, faith most certainly is.

Faith is the unspoken, nameless and formless yearning for completion
and wholeness. Alone and unaided, it can pull us to union with our God
or true self like a great free-floating balloon. Belief is the anchor
that keeps our faith from ever ascending and testing its limits.
Belief is the limiting and inhibiting of faith. Zen points out to us
the area of our lives where our faith in our selves has been silenced
by the rigidity of belief. Once pointed out, we are freed to ride our
faith to heights unimagined and certainly not permitted by the jealous
jailer called belief.

In Zen practice, the process of identify ing and reducing our
attachments to our own beliefs, ideas and opinions is sometimes called
"putting them down." Just as we would put down a load that has gotten
too heavy for us, so too can we put down our heavy load of self, which
we identify with our per sonal situations, ideas and beliefs.

Zen is simply nothing more than paying attention to your life as it
unfolds in this moment and in this world. The mindful, non judgmental
perception of this process is the action of your true, original self,
which exists before thinking, opinions, and beliefs arise and seek to
name and divide experience. By becoming mindful of our original
nature, we are able to lessen the grip of the denial that separates us
from true experience. As we become more spontaneous and intuitive in
our relationships with ourselves, others and the world, the world and
our deepest selves start to act as one, and we come to realize that
there's never been a problem except in our thinking.

Zen is the ultimate and original recovery program. It exposes our
denial of true self and shows us how we've suffered because of our
diseases of attachment, judgment and division. It suggests a program
for recovering our original nature and teaches steps we can take
immediately. It shows us how all our other diseases and discontents
flow from our fundamental denial of unity with each other and the
universe. Zen is there when you swerve out of the way of a speeding
car without thinking. It is there when you cry at a movie, feeling
deeply the suffering of another. It is there in the unconscious grace
of your walk, the elegant flow of your thoughts, and the automatic
breathing that keeps you alive. No, Zen never forgets about you. It is
you who have forgotten about Zen. It is you who takes this moment for
granted and believes that you are separate from all you survey, alone
and unique in your suffering. It is you who search high and low for
meaning, contentment, satisfaction or deliverance. To try to fill your
emptiness with meaning from outside yourself is like pouring water
into the ocean to make it wet.

The practice of Zen is the alarm clock that wakes us up to our lives
and enables us to stop sleepwalking through reality. It is the
friendly map that says: "Right here is the place. You have always been
here. Where else is there?" It is the calendar that says: "Right now
is the time. Who could want another?" Zen practice identifies the
liars and thieves in the temples of our hearts and casts them out so
that we may live as we are meant to live: whole, fearless, and
rejoined with that for which we so desperately long.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*One Day At A Time*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Behind all the unhealed hurts and coping patterns is the perfect
Being that I Am awaiting my awareness and reclamation of It.
Understanding that the old hurts are not present day reality
but only memories of the past I have the strength and wisdom
to allow them to rise to the surface and be healed.
No longer will I expend vast amounts of energy keeping
them hidden from conscious awareness as they destroy my body.
My body is the temple of my Inherent Nature
and I now cleanse it of all distress.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*First Things First*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Solvent is the Mind

Our minds like solvent water
Forever void the unnecessary
accumulated impedimenta
of days, weeks, years;
a cleansing process
to make space/room for
new experiences to face, encounter, listen for

Fresh flow the crystal waters of the mind
Ready to fill and engulf itself into a creative inlet
Ready to embrace new textures and substances
To build itself upon
Cycling with time, it is forever new, fresh…
Unless we dam it behind a wall
of worry and stagnation -
Unless we cling to the old
and dead debris of our lives

Let your mind flow gently but steadfastly onward
Outward, where new encounters will suffuse
Build it, with the breath of raw life

Your creativity deserves to have
Its doors swing wide open
A collection of vistas to power a world
So nurture your soul …
Forever the river

The High Cost of Low Living

The high cost of low living
Means a lot of taking and no giving
And myself was what I thought about the most!!
There was plenty of twisted thinking,
Followed by repeated drinking
And enumerous reasons for a "Social Toast"!!!

My number of friends began to dwindle,
Only strangers could I swindle
And no one called me on the telephone.
My wealth had soon depleted
Yet, my pride left me conceited,
Thus, finding myself existing all alone.

Accustomed to the high standard of living,
Realizing I was so unforgiving;
My conscience told me I was doing fine.
Then I met this welcoming committee,
Discussing all the nitty gritty;
I'm no longer dependent on my wine.

Caught Up

Caught up in a race
That I will never win
Running with the devil
No idea where to begin
Just one more
Was my inner cry
I was not honest
Yet I could never lie
If a little made me feel good
I always wanted more
I wasted lots of time
Out on the streets trying to score
I had to get high
I had to escape reality
I was blind
Yet I could clearly see
Self-centered and selfish
I made up my bed
Crazy thoughts always
Running around in my head
One was never enough for me
I was chained
Yet I could not break free
Then came the day
I wanted to change
Life to me seemed
So damn strange
God led me to recovery
Through the steps
I had finally learned to see

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Keep The Focus On You*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Every day we must work to make our lives purer and more intense, for
it is
this life which will work the highest form of magic on people's hearts,
souls and minds, on the entities and the forces of nature, and even on
physical objects. What good does it serve to come to earth and lead a
mediocre life? To eat, drink, sleep, work a little to earn a living, and
have a few amorous adventures from which people emerge exhausted -
what is all this compared to an eternity of splendour which awaits
those who
endeavour to learn just one thing: how to live? If initiates are
balanced,
happy and at peace, it is because they have worked to purify their
lives,
and to render them beautiful and powerful. They have understood that
true
magic is found in life itself and nowhere else. Yes, to be able to
live and
breathe the divine life is the highest form of magic. To encourage
others,
to stimulate them, to reawaken and ennoble them, this is true magic, the
true life.
