I am grateful for rain and a cooler day. I unexpectedly got to work a first step with someone today. It was eye opening to be taken back to powerlessness.

I read about chakras today and particularly about the third eye. I am thinking about the the mind's eye. The guy I was working with has been reading the AA Big Book and remarked about how much things he has read before seem different. He said the same happens with the bible. He asked why? I think it is spiritual illumination, filiosis, connection to God that opens the mind's eye, the eye of the spirit.

Today I thought about how many times I have fear and have to turn to God to relieve them. I felt an awareness of just how much I was driven by fear.

I got to go on a bike ride this evening with my son. There was a moment when the sun was setting and we were riding fast down a long drive and into an open space in the park and I felt like it was the image of a recovered life.

Thanks be to God.
