I found my tribe, the social architecture that fulfills my every need for camaraderie and conviviality. ~ Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, page 333
An ugly duckling, I wandered alone
among others, different, strange
when they were all I'd known.
Certain of nothing, convinced something
could be done if only I knew what or how
I cowered, hiding, or brazenly took charge
but never belonged.
Chance brought me together with another,
an other like me. How did I know?
I don't know. I needed no rationale,
had no cause to act shy or bold.
I just knew all was well. I was home.
