chicago

not sure if i ever mentioned this. in sobriety several months back i went on a spiritual retreat with the lakoda tribe near louisville kentucky. it was very intense, we went in a sweat lodge (thats a whole other story). anyways part of the deal was we had to a do something called Fire Watch. groups of two's take turns maintaining a huge fire next to the sweat lodge. my friend and I had the midnight to 2am shift. its far away from the city lights so you can see all the stars. looking up i realized that all the stars were suns and galaxys and thats only 10% of the mass thats out there. the big book refers to as Spirit of the Universe, Higher Power, and/or God.

we humans are insignifcant beings and something exists much more powerful than us. at that moment, I came believe that a power greater than myself created that mass and could restore me to sanity.

God exists. keep coming back if you dont believe it...and you will too.

Sounds to me like you had a very profound spiritual awakening, Chicago.

I've always had a deep admiration for the Native Americans...how wonderful that you were given the opportunity to share in their culture. Thanks for sharing that with us.
