There are lots of temptations to be unhappy
I have made the decision to be at peace
That means:
The decision to accept everything as it
And then to get on with God's job for me
To be grateful not for selected things but for everything
I seek to solve all of my problems by spiritual means
This means:
Going to God
Applying the Steps, Traditions, and Concepts
Doing so again, again, and again
And accepting the results
Some things obviously get better
Other things appear to remain unresolved
But those unresolved things
must be fully accepted
And then I am at peace
And problems become facts
All of my other difficulties:
Mental illness
Neurodivergence
... have been eliminated or worked around
Anything can be dealt with IF
I'm willing to experience life as it is
... including pain and difficulty
If I resist, my addiction fires up
It will re-narrate the world UNTIL:
A pill, a drink, a sniff, a click, an encounter
Seems only right and quite inevitable
All slips start with resistance to reality
The loophole in the back pocket
Upset = thirsty
Frightened = thirsty
Angry = thirsty
Down = thirsty
Depressed = thirsty
Instead:
I seek God
Sometimes He comes
Sometimes, apparently, not
But no matter
In the meantime:
Like as the hart desireth the waterbrooks :
so longeth my soul after thee, O God.
My soul is athirst for God, yea, even for the living God :
when shall I come to appear before the presence of God?
My tears have been my meat day and night :
while they daily say unto me, Where is now thy God?
The universe is constantly singing to you
Listen
