HARMONY:

A pianist often needs to practice each
hand's work separately to learn the

feel, to learn the sound. One hand
picks out a part until there is a
rhythm and ease in playing what is
difficult. Then, the musician
practices with the other hand, picking
through the notes, one by one, until
that hand learns its tasks. When each
hand has learned its part – the sound,
the feel, the rhythm, the tones – then
both hands can play together.

During the time of practice, the music
may not sound like much. It may
sound disconnected, not particularly
beautiful. But when both hands are
ready to play together, music is
created.

When we begin recovery, it may feel
like we spend months, even years,

practicing individual, seemingly
disconnected behaviors in the
separate parts of our life.

We take our new skills into our work,
our career, and begin to apply them

slowly, making our work
relationships healthier for us. We take
our skills into our relationships,
sometimes one relationship at a time.
We struggle through our new
behaviors in our love relationships.

We work on our relationship with our
Higher Power – our spirituality. We
work at loving ourselves. We work at
believing we deserve the best. We
work on our finances. On our
recreation. Sometimes on our
appearance. Sometimes on our home.

We work on feelings. On beliefs. On
behaviors. Letting go of the old,

acquiring the new. We go from one
extreme to the other, and sometimes
back through the course again. We
make a little progress, go backward,
and then go forward again.

It may all seem disconnected. It may
not sound like a harmonious,
beautiful piece of music. Then one
day, something happens. We become
ready to play with both hands, to put
the music together.

What we have been working toward,
note by note, becomes a song. That
song is a whole life, a complete life,
a life in harmony.

The music will come together in our
life if we keep practicing the parts.
