FIRST WE GOTTA LEAVE THE REASSURING, OLD BAGGAGE BEHIND -
"We have empha-
sized willingness as
being indispensable." "If
we still cling to something
we will not let go, we ask
God [or our H.P.] to help
us be willing." (The
Big Book, p. 76)
AND THEN WE CAN BECOME WHAT WE ARE MEANT TO BE -
"Change is always frightening, even when it's much needed and long overdue change for the better." "Then, because we are willing to go to any length ... we move ahead ... . No longer will we allow fear to keep us rom doing what is best for us." (Overeaters Anon, p. 57)
"But one thing is cer-
tain, if we merge mercy
with might and might with
right, then love becomes
our legacy and change
our children’s birth-
right."
- Amanda Gorman (1998 - ) African-Amer. poet laureate for Pres. Biden inauguration 1/20/2021
*HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
