Noy Too Tough

Much to our relief, we discovered we did not need to consider another’s conception of God. Our own conception, however inadequate, was sufficient to make the approach and to effect a contact with Him. As soon as we admitted the possible existence of a Creative Intelligence, a Spirit of the Universe underlying the totality of things, we began to be possessed of a new sense of power and direction, provided we took other simple steps. We found that God does not make too hard terms with those who seek Him. ~ Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition (Kindle Locations 844-847).

Construct a God. Long before Minecraft,
Ruby on Rails, any of the ultra-modern
phenomena so beyond the 1930's modern!
But we are to construct a God, clumsy,
inadequate as our attempts may be!
Admit the possibility of Power beyond me,
past your grasp, unorthodox as may be...
and a new sense (recognition), an idea
of Power, of direction, and it's a start...
a sufficient start to recognize this God.
this Power who starts with fondness,
with acceptance of those of us bold enough
to seek him, to reach for his hand.
