Dear Friends,
Less than two weeks before we meet again, on February 8th.
Here is something to sit with until then...
Step 2: Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
Koan: The storehouse of treasures opens of itself. You may take them and use them any way you wish.

If you belong to a 12 Step Group, at one time you will hear someone say, "Upon working the steps, one day you will see where the Steps are working you!" The same can be said when you meditate with Zen koans ... a koan can pop into your life when you least expect it, giving you a new perspective on matters. Here we are practicing with koans to see how they can deepen our understanding of the 12 Steps in new and unexpected ways.
