My prayers go out for Bill too. May God's light touch his heart.

| Pray for what you cannot see. Pray clearly for what you can only faintly grasp. Pray silently from the core of your being. Pray for healing. Pray for humanity. Pray lovingly Pray deeply --- pray so deeply that the prayer and the praying become one. prayer - charlie elkind - september 2001

This will be it for a while. This codie needs to settle down and get back into routine. May the long time sun Shine upon you, All love surround you, And the pure light within you Guide your way on. kundalini yoga - farewell blessing

An Addicts Prayer I whispered, please help me, I can't go on the road has been hard and far too long. When this thing started it was all fun and games, I had no idea it was going to kick ass and take names. And mind started to falter as I whispered my plea, I'd lost all my hope, and wondered where could it be? My body was hurting, for the only thing it knew, And I looked at the spoon, it started talking too. I'd run out of real reasons and places to hide, my heart began aching there was no one at my side How did I get here and falling so low, Where was my dignity, where did it go? And I remembered a promise from a long time ago, That God could and would if you just let him know. It was at one of those meetings, that first I heard the phrase, But I was lost in this thing called addiction and it's dark maze. I gave up all hope of ever finding my way back, And I looked at the needle ready to add one more track, When something inside me began to twist and snap, It was my lost soul leaving for that eternal knap. And then at that moment, I heard something say, You don't need to do this, you've got one more day No one abandoned you, we were here all along, waiting and wondering for you to hear the song. That's when it happened and I got on my knees, and I told him my sad story and begged him please. I got up and knew, I was done lying, stealing and cheating, and dragged my sorry ass back to a meeting.

| Do you need Me? I am there. You cannot see Me, yet I am the light you see by. You cannot hear Me, yet I speak through your voice. You cannot feel Me, yet I am the power at work in your hands. I am at work, though you do not understand My ways. I am at work, though you do not understand My works. I am not strange visions. I am not mysteries. Only in absolute stillness, beyond self, can you know Me as I am, and then but as a feeling and a faith. Yet I am there. Yet I hear. Yet I answer. When you need Me, I am there. Even if you deny Me, I am there. Even when you feel most alone, I am there. Even in your fears, I am there. Even in your pain, I am there. I am there when you pray and when you do not pray. I am in you, and you are in Me. Only in your mind can you feel separate from Me, for only in your mind are the mists of "yours" and "mine." Yet only with your mind can you know Me and experience Me. Empty your heart of empty fears. When you get yourself out of the way, I am there. You can of yourself do nothing, but I can do all. And I am in all. Though you may not see the good, good is there, for I am there. I am there because I have to be, because I am. Only in Me does the world have meaning; only out of Me does the world take form; only because of Me does the world go forward. I am the law on which the movement of the stars and the growth of living cells are founded. I am the love that is the law's fulfilling. I am assurance. I am peace. I am oneness. I am the law that you can live by. I am the love that you can cling to. I am your assurance. I am your peace. I am ONE with you. I am. Though you fail to find Me, I do not fail you. Though your faith in Me is unsure, My faith in you never wavers, because I know you, because I love you. Beloved, I AM there. i am there - james dillet freeman - 1947 When 5 codies from all corners of the continent accidentally meet on a recovery site, become friends and get together to share their laughter, tears, and spirit...you better believe He is there.

Storm, I was introduced to a southern dessert called Red Velvet Cake and one slice alone was good for 3 pounds and worth every biteful. Each Night, Each Day Impossibility does not Discourage me: Each night I dream of God-realisation. Impossibility does not Dishearten me. Each day I plan for God-manifestation. - Sri Chinmoy Excerpt from: Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, Part 1 by Sri Chinmoy

| Prayer to Live With Grace May we discover through pain and torment, the strength to live with grace and humor. May we discover through doubt and anguish, the strength to live with dignity and holiness. May we discover through suffering and fear, the strength to move toward healing. May it come to pass that we be restored to health and to vigor. May Life grant us wellness of body, spirit, and mind. And if this cannot be so, may we find in this transformation and passage moments of meaning, opportunities for love and the deep and gracious calm that comes when we allow ourselves to move on. - Rabbi Rami M. Shapiro

| HUMILITY PLAQUE - famous plaque that sat on Dr. Bob's desk Perpetual quietness of heart. It is to have no trouble. It is never to be fretted or vexed, irritable or sore; to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing done against me. It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised, to have a blessed home in myself where I can go in and shut the door and kneel to my Father in secret and be at peace, as in a deep sea of calmness, when all around and about is seeming trouble.
