Skip the Microscope

Analytical, logical, a tinkerer,
needing to know just how it works...
I know you for you are me.
I understand frustration at inanities
like "Just do it" and "Act as if,"
to "Don't think your way
into a new way of living but
live your way into a new way
of thinking." You grit your teeth
at "How does it work, it works just fine"
and "Would you like to be happy or right?"
An intellectual awakening brings no recovery;
a spiritual one does. The other Big Book
got it right: faith is confidence in our hopes,
being sure of what we can't see — or prove.
