Expanding
my view outwardly as well as inwardly… to observe the evolution of my soul… to
see that what I think I am and what I am limited by is to step into the
dimension of the spirit. I am… we are… sober now and settle into a new realm of
the spirit and grasp what evaded our consciousness until this very moment…
always changing… always growing and allowing the Heart of Compassion to move me
as the ego traps and failures drop away. This breath… this heartbeat calls me
to dance with joy in union with, instead of in opposition to, the world around
me. This acceptance is often mistaken for compliance but nothing could be
further from the truth. This is a melding, as they say in Aikido… melding
rather than direct confrontation. Turning the energy of my character defects
into an asset rather than a deficit is melding. Welcoming my imagined enemies
into my heart and loving them as I love myself… to aspire to heal rather than
to harm… this is the spirit of emotional sobriety. Is this an unobtainable
goal? I think perhaps… but isn’t my life a whole lot better when I turn my
ambitions toward it?
