The Keystone

He is the father, we are his children. Most good ideas are simple, and this concept was the keystone of the new and triumphant arch through which we passed to freedom.

A keystone is the wedge shaped piece at the highest part of an arch that locks the other pieces in place. The “other pieces” are steps one, two, and four through 12. In one sense this sounds like step three is the most important step, that the other 11 depend on the third for support. In reality however, step three is just one of the 12. It is the keystone, but without 11 other stones to build the base and arms, keystone or not, there will be no arch. Through daily working of all 12 steps, I find that triumphant arch waiting for me to pass through to another day of freedom.
