As if you were a pumpkin & if you will let them, the people who have taken the 12 steps before you chop your head off so you stop thinking. You have to figure it’s a good idea since your best thinking got you to them in the first place.
Then they help you scoop out all the seeds and yucky stuff so they can put the light inside of you. It is the God light of love, gratitude, service and faith and burns eternal, one day at a time, if you let it.
