My father was a writer. He wrote all of his life, inflicting upon many of us his novels, plays, articles, essays, and self-help books. Some were marvelous; some merely well-intentioned. But of all the things he wrote, his journal is his legacy: by turns wise and bewildering, it neared 1,100 type-written pages when he died in 2010. Although perused many times, this is the first time it will be read - cover to cover, page after page.

Spiritual and Sober
He is being spiritual in order to be sober, but the focus on sobriety limits the prospect of spirituality being realized. To try to focus on only one aspect of being is to not realize that we are not spiritual to a specific end. We are spiritual, and to have a focus to to have less freedom rather than more.
