There are similarities between school and recovery. Thank God we sit in pews in church. No way to lean back and go over backwards. I have been a fan of movable chairs in church. Maybe this is one of the arguments for pews.
When my son was in second grade
He was placed in the class
With those who needed
Special attention.
A class full of those
Who needed special attention.
As near as I could tell,
He didn*t.
The teacher introduced meditation,
A darkened room,
And sitting on the floor.
At the parent-teacher conference
She said the only thing
She was concerned about,
Was my son leaned back on his chair.
That was it.
Really?
That was it.
I told her there were other things
That seemed important to me.
In the halfway house
One of the rules is
Four on the floor.
Yep.
Thank goodness there are also other things
Like
Keep coming back
And
Coming back
And
Coming back again.
It*s like forgiveness
Seventy times seven times seven
Times infinity.
It*s like all the forever things
We know are right and good
And meant to last
More than a lifetime.
Four on the floor
(OK)
But
Keep coming back
And coming back
And coming back
Again.
