Very true. Like I said in another post on another thread, sometimes we are still suffering because we can't be still.

God never shouts, it is always a still small voice and I can't hear it if my mind is noisy.

God speaks to me directly. Sometimes in the quiet of meditation, but more often it is in plain English in a voice that sounds like yours. But I can't hear it it my mind is cluttered up with resentments and other obsessions. So I keep my mind clear through regular inventory.

And..

"How important is it?"

"One minute, one hour, one day at a time"..

"Take what you need and leave the rest."

"Acceptance is the answer to all my problems today."

"Screw guilt."

"Who's countin'?"

This from an old..oldtimer once..had a sobriety cake for many years in the program. I had

just come back in from a relapse, still shaky. I asked him how many years he had

put together. He looked at me, put his hands in his pockets, shrugged, and said..

"Who's countin?" "All we drunks have is today, anyway." I loved that old man

so darn much at that moment..and I knew he didn't say it just for me.

He said it for himself.

I love cliche's...

Me too. They really help and work. At least for me they do.
