TAKE  THE  STAIRS 

Always take the stairs,

if possible….

Okay, it’s slower. And
you might miss out on a chance

to chat a few blurted words to

someone on the elevator.

But still, always take the stairs.

You’ll  learn a lot more - like

life is steps - and steps teach

things like - a day at a time.

Always take the stairs, if possible….

like in conversion and recovery  -

as we see in Alcoholics Anonymous -

and several spiritual systems.

Life takes steps. It’s a staircase

to many floors - to many doors -

and sometimes we think we’re there,

but we’re not. There are more doors.

So, always take the stairs

if possible….
