Miracles

"I haven't understood a bar of music in my life, but I have felt it." -Igor Stravinsky

A miracle is not meant to be understood but experienced. So much in life I will never understand. There is growth in confusion. I am not perfect. I will never be perfect. The mystery of life is exactly that it is a mystery. As an alcoholic, I often sought to appear "as God." I had to have an answer for everything, even if I made up the answer! Not to know was humiliating for me because it took away control,my need to be in charge,my hopeless and exhausting quest for perfection. With failure to be perfect came the guilt, shame, and anger. Today I am able to live with life's daily confusions-and it's okay! - Leo Booth

Great Spirit, help me never to lose touch with the feelings that keep me human.
