AA Thought for the Day

August 1, 2002

Fear

This short word somehow touches
about every aspect of our lives.
It was an evil and corroding thread;
the fabric of our existence was shot through with it.
It set in motion trains of circumstances which
brought us misfortune we felt we didn't deserve.
But did not we, ourselves, set the ball rolling?
Sometimes we think fear
ought to be classed with stealing.
It seems to cause more trouble.

Thought to Ponder....

Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows,
but only empties today of its strength.
