There comes a sense of total freedom when a list is made of the wrongs we have done. It makes it "real" to see it on a piece of paper. This list also comes with fear. It is time to accept responsibility for our actions, it is something we have never done. Growing up in an addictive dysfunctional home is not a place to nurture positive human behaviours.
With Step Eight, we symbolically strip every layer of dirt that has become us and we can look in the mirror and find acceptance for who we are.
What
a Wonderful World
Skies
of blue… trees of green
I
hear Louie singing… what a wonderful world
people
at peace… no games
no
stories… no lies… no backstabbing
Imagine
this world…
As
John sung… living for today
where
heaven is earth
and
hatred doesn’t exist
Alcohol
and drugs aren’t needed
after
all it is a pain free life
a
world of bare footed people
letting
mud slide between their toes
shame
doesn’t exist…
we
are all children of God
shyness
left when clothes disappeared
finally
we saw all the beauty… of nature and each other
Katrina
was walking on sunshine
and
we knew we were all fine
love
conquered hate… faith destroyed fear
holding
hands… what a wonderful world
