Love

During my recovery meeting today there was a lot of talk about having difficulty with the concept of God. I commented that many people believe that there is "something there" besides what a person can see, touch or feel. I suggested that they give that a name and believe in it. Personally I am comfortable with calling it Love, which then leads me to believing in relationships, connectedness, inclusion, respect, forgiveness and compassion. I like the comment by C. Jung, that "Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other."
