Bring it forth
"What you bring forth out of yourself from the inside will save you. What you do not bring forth out of yourself from the inside will destroy you." -- Gospel of Thomas
Certainly a perfect quote for recovery -- how very true. Ya know, I am not a X-ian and even though my mother is a Lutheran Pastor, I had to look up to see what the Gospel of Thomas even is. She would frown at me if she knew that and say, "Oh my goodness, Lamb, you must be better read than that." ;-) Peace, Scout
I am a performance poet and writer. In a former life I was probably a gypsy. I am content wherever I am because I have the rooms of the Fellowship. I have 31 years of recovery, had a liver transplant in 2005 and am currently writing a daily meditation book for recovering addicts and alcoholics. I have two German shepherds, a fantastic husband and a great life.

lovely and thought provoking, but I have to admit I often felt this way when head spinning drunk too....
Hi N. It's good to be back again. Hope you're in the best of health.
Loved that quote, been in the self destroying part! The robin pic is beautiful, like a momma protectin' her babies...
HUGS
