There is no magic…but there are miracles. ~Voices of Recovery (Kindle Location 3007).
Just wishing for —
praying for – leanness,
painless weight loss,
miracle beauty…
it doesn't work.
Nothing leads to giving up,
to rewarding self,
to comforting with sugar,
to bingeing...more than trusting
in the magic.
So what is the difference
in magic and miracles?
Magic lacks accountability,
seems deserved just because.
Miracles, though, are gifts, grace…
miracles come to those who know
they don't deserve it,
can't get it on their own,
who have given up
but are ready, willing,
amenable to letting go
and welcoming
the greatest gift.
