Inevitable if You Take Step Three

Once we compulsive overeaters truly take the third step, we cannot fail to recover. ~ Anonymous, Overeaters. The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Overeaters Anonymous (Kindle Location 317). Overeaters Anonymous, Inc.. Kindle Edition.

How do you "take" a step that says,
"Came to believe a power
greater than ourselves
could restore us to sanity?"
What is involved in taking a step?
What does that have to do
with coming to believe?
Most of our lives
we don't think about
physically taking a step.
For a beginner, someone
overcoming an injury
and the aged, thought
is mandatory.
Put your weight on one leg
then move the other,
preferably involving
knee flexing.
Is there a correlation?
Shifting the weight
can be, "don't think so hard."
Flexing the knee
is an upward shift... (or kneeling?)
looking toward a Higher Power?
Moving forward is almost
a controlled fall,
certainly one relying
on being caught, a proper landing.
Coming to believe
a higher power
could set you straight
Involves diverting your mind,
reaching up, knowing
Daddy's up there,
you're going to be fine,
then repeating until
it becomes obvious, a given,
everything's going to be fine.
