Spirituality is one of those realities that you have only so long as you seek it; as soon as you think you have it, you've lost it. In rediscovering this basic spiritual insight, the earliest members of Alcoholics Anonymous tapped the essence of open-endedness that characterizes a spirituality of imperfection. Spirituality is boundless, unable to be fenced in: We do not capture it; it captures us. As much as we might like to "wrap things up," to lock spirituality in and hold it fast, it will forever escape our grasp.
