Wounded

 Some people treat recovery from bad behavior like someone who has recovered from a gunshot wound.  They then think they are bulletproof.  I have seen so many people who join some religion, spiritual practice, or recovery program.  They get some healing.  They feel well.  Then they stop doing what made them well.  Spiritual practice is like a medicine that you cannot stop taking and expect to remain healthy.  Whenever I get away from what has made me sane and spiritually healthy and whole, I begin to fall apart.  It is a daily practice.  Yesterday’s efforts were good for yesterday.  Today is a new day for gratitude for yesterday and the chance to be in good shape today.
