Principles, Not Personalities
Do
not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not
believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do
not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your
religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of
your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have
been handed down for many generations. But after observation and
analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is
conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and
live up to it. -Buddha
I allow the grace of this collective wisdom to enter me each and every day
Today
I am part of a community of recovering people that is bigger than me,
bigger than anyone. I am benefiting from a collective wisdom that has
developed slowly and over time, that has been passed with love,
commitment, passion, pain, sweat, and deep joy from one hand to another,
from one heart to another. This is a journey with fellow journeyers,
owned by no one and affiliated with nothing outside of itself. I owe my
recovery to no person, place, or thing. I am here like so many others,
taking my turn in these beautiful rooms, seeking Good Orderly Direction a
day at a time.
