The Great Fact for Us
Abandon yourself to God as you
understand God. Admit your faults to Him and to your fellows. Clear away the
wreckage of your past. Give freely of what you find and join us. We shall be
with you in the Fellowship of the Spirit, and you will surely meet some of us
as you trudge the Road of Happy Destiny.

This is the clarion
call that ends the basic text of Alcoholics Anonymous but I believe it is a clear
direction for all of us who embark on the spiritual highway. It is a directive
and not a commandment. Once I have abandoned myself to God the rest comes
natural... I don’t have to be told to do any of it. There is work to be done,
there are forks in the road where I need direction once in a while and the road
is sometimes uphill but it isn’t as though I need to be ordered to do anything.
For the most part, it is clear to me where I’m going. The Fellowship of the
Spirit is a loose federation of kindred spirits going the same direction… no
leaders… no followers… no rules… no guilt… the Heart of Compassion leads me and
the path is where I put my feet to pass through the landscape of hope towards
the joy of peace.
