Pre-dawn Ceremony

It seems that all around me, people are turning back to using drugs or alcohol and I am acutely aware that the normal state for an addict such as myself, is using, meaning that I need to maintain my various disciplines, if I wish to live the clean and sober life I live.  One of those disciplines is to get out of bed “before the chickens crow” to pray, meditate and feel that loving connection with the absolute, or God.  That particular discipline is fundamental to my life and way of thinking.  It is also, in many ways, the highlight of my day.
