I decided to be my inner child today and write a fun entry from his perspective. I really believe it’s truly important on all of our spiritual journeys in life to never neglect the little boy or girl that lives inside each and every one of us. So today I’m honoring my own by allowing “Andy” to write about something he likes to do quite often and it’s titled “If I were…”
If I were a butterfly, I’d land on someone who looks totally sad hoping only that it might cheer them up.
If I were indestructible, I’d try to save as many people as I can from the increasing violence on our planet.
If I were a tree, I’d want to know if I feel pain when people carve things into me or chop me down.
If I were an animal in a zoo, I’d be one that makes people giggle and laugh by doing funny things.
If I were the weather, I’d be a permanent rainbow because they usually create a lot more hope and joy in this world.
If I were a bird, I’d like to finally know what all their chatter is about when they sit in a tree in huge numbers.
If I were an insect, I’d be a honeybee because there doesn’t seem to be many of them left.
If I were a flower, I’d be a birds of paradise because they always remind me of me, tall and goofy looking.
If I were a cat or a dog, I’d have an owner that I could teach them a thing or two about unconditional love.
If I were able to remove anything in this world, I’d get rid of hate because all it seems to do is create more of it.
And…
If I were to tell Andrew Arthur Dawson one thing today, I’d tell him I love him and give him my thanks…because he no longer ignores me nor is he doing those addictions anymore that caused him to forget about me in the first place.
Peace, love, light, and joy,
Andrew Arthur Dawson
Andrew! Maybe Andy needs to come out and play and not be so serious all the time. Or at least a little more often. Bird of Paradise?! Really 🙂 you just might have to prepare for some kind of friendly teasing even if it’s child like. lol See ya soon, Goofy!
Yes, I definitely can be a little serious quite often… I take my recovery so seriously most of the time… I’ll have to let Andy write more articles at least … 😉
Being sober doesn’t have to be precarious all the time What I am getting at is if you think you are sober then you are. You don’t have to be serious about it all the time. After all we are not a glum lot!
Definitely true!
