Like the Alchemist, I now have a halo.
It's light, the consciousness of the Presence.
It's energy, the image of God.
It's matter, energy slowed down.
Guided, as long as I stay close and perform God's work well.
The terms are simple and understandable, nothing fancy, excruciatingly simple.
The process keeps me falling in love, one day at a time, again and again with my Higher Power:
over and over, I awaken to my awakening, am "surprised by joy."
Awakened, I carry the message to newcomers, "feed the lambs," imperfectly guide others through the 12 steps, "feed the sheep,"
and practice the spiritual principles in all my affairs, "tend the sheep."
