<Sunday Sermon> Doesn't matter. Works for atheists too. A "higher power" can refer to an awareness (an acknowledgment) that there exists something greater than ourselves. Doesn't have to be a g_d. It could just as easily be the "power" of being in the presence of the group. In my experience, the trick is to simply let go of one's concept of a "self" particularly our desperate and futile attempts to defend and/or protect it... It's been my experience that the "self" never needs protection. Never did. Simply give up. But, oh, how scary that sounds!!!! I'll be annihilated!!!! No you won't. But I think you already knew this. ;-) </Sunday Sermon> Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks.
