LETTING OUR CORNUCOPIA OF LOVE RUNNETH OVER -
"Can we
bring the same
spirit of love and tol-
erance into our some-
times deranged family
lives that we bring to
our [spiritual / recov-
ery] group?" (12
& 12, p. 112)
REASONABLE EXPECTATIONS CAN EASE TENSIONS -
"We can stop making unreasonable demands on others and begin to give of ourselves in relationships. Our romantic relationships, our friendships, and our
interactions with family ... are undergoing an astounding change." (The Basic Text, p. 74)
"It is the
enemy who
can truly teach
us to practice the
virtues of com-
passion and
tolerance."
- 14th Dalai Lama (1935 - ) Tibetan spiritual leader
*HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
