The Dust

 Good intentions are like dust if we have no depth to a spiritual life.  Meditation is the firm foundation, like being upon rock.  In my Church that would include the sacraments and worship along with my meditation.  In a Program of Recovery it would be the Steps, Traditions and Concepts that build a firm foundation.  People have good intentions after a hangover or some bad action, that they know is wrong.  But then there is no working on the heart, no connection with others on the solid path to recovery.  People often know what to do but lack the power to do it.  Dust in the wind.
