Greetings,
Quite a week we've had here in Sonoma County coping with the Kincade Fire. I hope you are safe.
We meet early in November on Friday the 8th. I wonder what sitting with Step 11 and this koan may bring to you?
Bill K.
Step 11: Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
Koan:
A sponsee asked, “What is the key to Step 11?”
Her sponsor, without saying a word, leaned in.
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.
