Pathfinder

For me, the concept of accepting a higher power (HP) is a complex one. My life, fortunately, has always been on a spiritual quest. For others, AA and Al-Anon are an introduction to a higher power. So while HP, however we define it, gives us great latitude, for some, it becomes overwhelming.

One thing I could accept was that I did not have all the answers for the world. Just looking at the birds, the flowers in my garden, the stars at night, made me realize that there was some greater order present. Whether I could define it or not, some greater "intelligence" existed.

The sun rises every morning whether I think of it or not. When I feel its effects, such as a beam of light descending through the clouds to warm my face, then I take notice of it. Perhaps that is part of the problem, my HP may always be there, but it takes a personal touch for me to notice.

As I have worked the steps to recovery, I get frequent reminders to look to HP. And you know, when I do, I feel the effects. Little by little, I am gaining a stronger connection with HP and small miracles are already happening in my life.

Thanks HP.
