Forbidden Fruit

 God seems to like to hide, not be so easily found.  But the forbidden fruit is right out there in the open for us.  We tend to choose that which we prefer.  We choose the fruits we can see, touch and taste.  Easy. God, Higher Power, Ultimate Reality, we have to work a bit, have patience, trust, discipline in meditation, take time.  Spiritual growth requires a sorting of priorities.  That which is easy is not always that which is best, and especially if we are going to grow on the insides.  So if you are not having much of a spiritual life, sobriety, you might ask what your priority list look like.
