While drinking I seemed to vacillate between feeling totally invisible,
and believing I was the center of the universe.
Searching for that elusive balance between the two
has become a major part of my recovery.
The moon I constantly cried for is, in sobriety, rarely full;
it shows me instead its many other phases,
and there are lessons in them all.
True learning has often followed an eclipse, a time of darkness,
but with each cycle of my recovery,
the light grows stronger and my vision is clearer.
In the depth of winter
I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.
