From The Projector – “I spoke with my sponsor and a therapist. I had to speak about how ashamed of going back to my social circle.. it is so embarrassing at this point because im new again.” (On being ashamed)

ed of mistakes and
thus make them crimes.”

What mistakes have you been ashamed to admit, lately?
The Sun
by Mary Oliver
Have you ever seen
anything
in your life
more wonderful
than the way the sun,
every evening,
relaxed and easy,
floats toward the horizon
and into the clouds or the hills,
or the rumpled sea,
and is gone–
and how it slides again
out of the blackness,
every morning,
on the other side of the world,
like a red flower
streaming upward on its heavenly oils,
say, on a morning in early summer,
at its perfect imperial distance–
and have you ever felt for anything
such wild love–
do you think there is anywhere, in any language,
a word billowing enough
for the pleasure
that fills you,
as the sun
reaches out,
as it warms you
as you stand there,
empty-handed–
or have you too
turned from this world–
or have you too
gone crazy
for power,
for things?
I spoke with my sponsor and a therapist . I had speak about how ashme of going back to my social circle.. it is so embarrassing at this point because im new again.
But I’m getting more omfortable acepting that i have work to do on myself and do mot deviate from my main goal right now which is staying sober..
