Many of us living in one day at a time recovery are people who have lived the lives of wayward monks. If we are new to recovery we are soon to realize that what we mean in saying we had lived our lives as wayward monks we mean we have lived, and still live our lives, as spiritual misfits. It is our experiences, and the stories we tell, or the musings we share, that make us so. What we have learned is – God takes care of babes and fools and in our innocence and our naivety we actually help people. When we do so we are just trying to find our way. Eventually we find grace in abundance which we learn to give and receive. Our waywardness is a gift which isn’t always easy. It’s the discovery of reality and reality can be hard. We need to understand this. Peace.
