Lessons from my early recovery: My personal growth was punctuated with profound teachings by Flobird during our travels. Once while camping on the North Shore of Oahu, we were all sitting around in a circle. The sun had just set on the horizon. As it disappeared into the ocean, there was a stillness within us all. As the day ended and the sky turned pink, red, and violet, I looked up and the colors reflected off of Flobird’s tan and wrinkled face. The glow magnified the joy in her eyes. The silence was broken when she asked, “Do you know what God’s will is?” Everyone responded with his or her own personal ideas, and some answers sounded rather esoteric. Flobird smiled and said, “God’s will for us is to live, love, laugh, and be happy— and to be a channel for this joy and give it away.” This information moved through us like a magical current, with an ancient recognition. This type of spiritual teaching seemed so practical and obvious when we saw it in action through Flobird. (From the pages of The Mindful Addict. Available on Amazon)
