When my teacher went to study with the head of the Zen Center he was told we are there for you.
It made me cry. Reaching out and having a community to support you.
This is also an important point in Alanon for me.There is a community for me to reach into for support and guidance. I can reach out to my sponsor. If my sponsor is not available I continue to reach out and more than likely someone will be there for me. I also am available to others in the program.
I have learned how to be there for myself.
One of my biggest gifts is loving in a deeper way. More feelings are born as I show up for myself.
I am thinking of my friend who is lying about her drinking. She is suffering.
Loving her for where she is right now with the disease.
- Do not try to become anything.
Do not make yourself into anything.
Do not be a meditator.
Do not become enlightened.
When you sit, let it be.
What you walk, let it be.
Grasp at nothing.
Resist nothing.

I like that there is a community in program. I have found though that sometimes people aren't there at the times we need them the most. They are just human with all the faults which is how I can let it go.
