Many of us living in one day at a time recovery are trying to understand imperfect peace. We understand pain and sorrow really have little to do with finding peace and are the reality of human living. This brings with it an imperfect peace shared by us as human beings. Often in our deepest pains and our deepest sorrows we find a peace that surpasses all understanding. We know that the peace that surpasses all understanding is a God thing. Some of us need call it grace. That is all we can understand. We need not know why. What we do know is the human condition makes all peace imperfect. None the less imperfect peace brings us wellness, serenity, and wholeness. Imperfect peace lets us be, or become, happy, joyous and free people. When this happens we discover the reality and the gift of imperfect peace in our human imperfection. Another reality is we experience the gift of gratitude in a life of perfect imperfections. One day at a time. Peace.
