It took a very very long time for me to realize this:

It ain't about me..
It is about we.

My own thinking got me into lots of trouble.
Together we can move along
It is not easy,
But is really is we.

The power that is in the groups that I attend,.......... (as a collective force for good) ..
and my higher power, the groups and I working together with a strength, power and love far greater than me.

It is my personal power, and each person has the right to define for themselves what they want to call a higher power..

I was just confused and getting clarification. I would really be screwed if I (and everyone else too!) wasn't allowed to define a higher power as I (and others) see my (their) higher power. As a matter of fact, I probably never would have gotten the healing I needed if that wasn't self defined!
