Concept 4.


 

 4. Participation is the key to harmony.

 

Through this meeting I discovered the nuance in Tradition 7.

 

Latterly in Concept 4, as well. I always felt that harmony always existed outside of me.

In my Step 11 musings, something has been clambering for attention. An old memory-

and my mum's words- when our family, FOO, was a young family:- "I hate peace!"

From my first meeting- I learned about detachment. In the meantime I married and

had a family. I don't really think- that I was all there. Less than half way, sometimes. aww

But stuff did happen. Middle years were really tempestuous... but I always recalled what

the older women said in our community:- "Out of the frying pan, and into the fire."

 

So, now, after all of that time- inner peace is a great framework for personal harmony.

                                   "Let it begin with me."

Thanks Audrey, and y'all... aww ...

Thank you so much for your share David.
"Let it begin with me" I need this reminder that I have complete control over me, over my reactions, over my choices, over how I show up.
