Some people living in one day at a time recovery know that it takes a long time to be awakened emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. We are not those of us who get hit by a sudden jolt of lightning and awaken as a dramatically changed person. For those of us who awaken bit by bit we slowly grow and slowly change in order that we might get to have a glimpse of our real-self which if we could see it we would see it as an innocence that belongs to no-one or no one thing. We are recipients of the love of God, the spirit and the universe and we are given back our lives to do as we please. Some of us choose to participate in life being of service to others as we continue to grow bit by bit day by day seeing everything is inextricably connected to everything. Some of us believe that the growth and the realities that have been revealed to us over a period of years would have been far too much for us to handle had it been thrust upon us in one sudden flash. This is one of the occurrences in which time had to take time. It’s a more natural maturation as a result of one day at a time recovery. In our continuing innocence we will understand grace and comprehend the gift of imperfection. We are awakening to love. Peace.
