KRIKET'S KHORUS

HOW  does IT WORK?

and how does what work?

the meat and potatoes of the alcoholic anonymous textbook [the Big Book]

is primarily dedicated to a doctrine for spiritual living.

Chapter 5 is entitled :  How it Works - -

therein you'll find the outline and description of what the co-founders of this organization[fellowship] wanted to convey.

they offer a suggested program of recovery in the form of 12 steps.

when i was young i followed my two older brothers all around asking them 

"how does it work?" and we'd tear stuff apart just to see...

how it works!

so, as an older adult i still wanna know

"how DOES it work"?

and what is MY "it"?

my "it" is:  G.O.D. [Good Orderly Direction]

my "it" is:  I Take - -

i take these 12 steps, i take suggestions , i take responsibility for my actions,

 i take care of myself, i take advantage of what i learn,

i   take   your   hand   in   mine    and    help YOU find your way.

these are just mindful ramblings of a wayward poet...

use what you can, pass on what you can't.

Namaste'
