It came about after a prolonged period of meditation, having the same image come up in my mind's eye over and over - A Closed Door in the middle of a giant hall. Someone said write about it and I did; hence this poetry and the concept, then 175 Missing Pieces and all the rest of the books on recovery and now workshops and seminars on spiritual recovery.

I am Alone and my World is a Dangerous Place
My ego believes that I am alone and my world is a dangerous place.
Only by doing something or getting something or being somebody, will I attain the happiness and safety that I seek.
These are my compulsions-obsessions.
When my efforts fail, it tells me there are certain "magic" substances and habits that can always be relied on.
Good going Neil ... we need some more of this stuff for those of us willing to take a look at this stuff as we go through recovery from a dysfuntional family.
