Made Amends, Maybe
Made Amends, Maybe
As most of you know I'm an agnostic Buddhist drunk but went back to AA just not to be a know it all no nothing. I've had several deaths in my life recently, none of them mine, so I went back to my group of many years and looked around and just saw people. The guy next to me with the I Love Jesus Cap and the Lord's Prayer didn't get to me I think I let go, though I still prefer bizarre Eastern ways. But rambling, I made or tried to make amends to my ex wife. The hardest most humbling and growth experience I know. I follow a Korean Zen called "Don't Know" Like what will tomorrow bring--Don't Know. But the amend attempt was so powerefully humbiling, that now I feel some peace in the harm my dis ease caused. Not forgiveness but peace. So I guess there is something to that step. She responded with caring and it broke my heart what my drinking did but it did. May I never cause harm to others or myself again. Sorry to sound pitiful, its not how I feel just sick and sad but better for the amend.
You both took peace. It can't be given just taken. Sounded pretty powerful to me.
I say that I take care from myself, not of myself.
Pitiful? No. Take care from yourself.
Thanks for posting, again.
