Next, we decided that hereafter in this drama of life, God was going to be our Director. He is the Principal; we are His agents. He is the Father, and we are His children. Most Good ideas are simple, and this concept was the keystone of the new and triumphant arch through which we passed to freedom. ~ Alcoholics Anonymous (Kindle Locations 917-919).
The keystone of the new and triumphant arch.
The central stone, the key meaning
the one without which it falls apart.
The keystone is the primacy of God,
the submission to the Power as understood.
This is the concept that makes
the triumphant arch work.
The bedrock on which it's built
is the realization of being powerless,
giving up on doing it ourselves.
The foundation is willingness,
accepting the idea of turning all over
to a god of our understanding
with a cornerstone of believing
in such a god.
The stones are held together by that spirit
like shared by shipwrecked victims
after a common peril.
Through this arch, the stones the steps,
we walk triumphantly to freedom
and life worth living.
