Not in their Footsteps

 Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise men of old. Seek what they sought. ~ Matsuo Munefusa

You think if you eat my food plan,
you’ll recover. But I’ve seen you eat…
When a piece of bread rests on my plate
it means nothing to me. I may eat it,
might not…I don’t need it,
it doesn’t call my name. But you…
I’ve watched you, seen you eat bread,
then grab mine when we stand to leave.
Trigger foods differ. Our needs differ,
the character defects, resentments…
You can’t find your recovery in my footsteps…
only in taking the twelve steps for yourself.
