Do you believe in God? What about a higher power? If you aren’t a religious person, the idea of a higher power being part of your recovery can make you feel hesitant about moving forward.

in constant motion, without effort.
This “something” permeates everything, accessible

If I were to impose a name,
I would call it the “Dao,” the “Way,” or “Higher Power.”
This Way is functioning everywhere, ever-flowing and always
returning.
Man follows Earth, Earth follows the Universe,
the Universe follows the Way.
The Way always follows its nature of Love.
These four are the great ones.
They naturally follow each other in a continual, harmonious dance
