I would love to read some answers to that question. Today, at an AA meeting, I said the Lord's prayer and added the words 'and our mother' after 'our father'. It 'felt' better than not saying a word while holding hands. An agnostic friend suggested that.
Two people who shared great stuff during the meeting, walked out right after the last share and before the holding of hands and prayer.
My higher power is the mystery of our creation, whatever force or energy propelled us into existence from star dust. Sometimes I long for a different view. I am convinced it's possible to long for something that doesn't exist, even if you know it's a crush. Sometimes crushes feel good and lighten one's load. Sometimes I wish I wasnt such a big skeptic.
