Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.
— Albert Einstein
In following the healing way, we open ourselves to truths that can never be established as concrete facts. Some of us have always been comfortable with a spiritual outlook. But some of us were hurt by damaging or even abusive experiences in religious institutions and gave up on them as meaningless. Now we all come together on a path that takes a very wide view of spirituality while making spiritual ideas central.
It is reassuring to learn that one of the greatest scientists of all time had a firm respect for realities that could not be pointed to or quantified. He excelled in the practical, objective world of science, and he also knew about spiritual truth. Now we, too, are learning how our spiritual life creates miracles we could not bring about by the force of our will.
Today, I am grateful to be tuned in to those forces that are outside objective, concrete reality.
Hazelden Foundation
