“May you live all the days of your life.’’
~ Jonathan Swift ~
This story offers a key to the meaning of spirituality: Two little fish were huddled together, afraid to move. A large fish swam by them, confident and strong. The big fish shouted out, “Why don’t you swim out and enjoy the beautiful ocean?” The two little fish looked at each other and asked, “What ocean?” They were in it, but they were unaware.
As an alcoholic, I existed in life but I did not live. I missed people, friendships, feelings, nature, and God. Like many addicts, I was among the “walking dead.” Today I continue to make a spiritual choice that avoids alcohol. I am now able to feel again. I am alive.
In You, I live to love and love to live.
