Humility

The topic in the recovery meeting today was humility and, in addition, circumstances have made it quite clear to me recently that my physical condition could be a lot worse, that it is by the grace of God that I am doing as well as I am.  As Kornfield puts it "To love fully and live well requires us to recognize finally that we do not possess or own anything---our homes, our cars, our loved ones, not even our own body.”  For that reason, every morning, I have my period of prayer and meditation during which I ask for guidance and support.  I guess that is either humility, reality or both.
