The Quixotic Miracle Behind Our Whole, New “Outlook Upon Life” – Step 5

Love arrives and in its train come ecstasies old memories of pleasure ancient histories of pain.  Yet if we are bold, love strikes away the chains of fear from our souls.” Excerpt from Maya Angelou’s poem Touched by an Angel

Today’s Full  SFZ

CHANGE WILL COME –

“Our whole atti-
tude  and  outlook
upon life will change.
That feeling  of useless-
ness and self-pity will dis-
appear.  We will lose inter-
est in selfish things and
gain interest in our fel-
lows.   Self-seeking
will  slip  away.”
(The Basic Text,

p. 30)

BEING TOUCHED –

“As we recover,
we gain  a  new  out-
look on being clean. “We
find that everyone we meet
eventually has something to
offer.”  “Recovery becomes
a  contact   process:  we
lose  the fear of  touch-
ing and being touch-
ed.” (12 & 12,  pp.
77 – 78)

“How have you lost “the fear of touching and being touched”, lately?

 

 

Touched by an Angel

by Maya Angelou

We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.

 

Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.

 

We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love’s light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.

    I’m open and make my self aware and available to connect. In was I never thought about, however I do also try ways that didn’t work for me in the past out of a familiarity. My experience with doing that has not been true for me…
