The Perfectionist's Guide to Losing Control: A Path to Peace and Power

by Katherine Morgan Schafler

I had a waking dream. You and God were in it. You approached God’s door, which was ajar. As you knocked, you entered. You came with flowers and sweet confections in your hands. God saw you and beamed. “Come in, come in! How wonderful it is to see you!” God was telling you the truth. God noticed the beautiful flowers and cheerful candies you were holding. God said, “You brought gifts! Thank you, you didn’t have to do that.” God was telling you the truth again. You beamed back at God and said: “I know I didn’t have to. I wanted to.” You were telling the truth, too. Then you found a place to sit. It was right beside God, and you made yourself at home.
