All Lightness and Hope

When I heard the words, “I am powerless over food,” I felt a surge of relief, a letting loose of a heavy burden, and my spirit danced with joy. With the obsession broken, I am all lightness and hope, reaching out like a child toward the growth that was lost to me. ~ For Today (Kindle Locations 2605-2607).

Aha! That's ​it!​So simple, so basic,
so obvious – now that you said it.
And such a relief
to find others of my ilk,
more of my kind,
a gathering of kin.
Enough to do a happy dance
and to know that Snoopy
must have learned some great truth,
some eternal fact
as mysterious and obvious
as the simple confession,
"I'm ​powerless​ over food."
It's not my fault!
