AA Thought for the Day

May 14, 2002

Prejudice

Do not let any prejudice you may have
against spiritual terms deter you
from honestly asking yourself what they mean to you.
At the start, this was all we needed
to commence spiritual growth,
to effect our first conscious relation with God
as we understood Him.
Afterward, we found ourselves accepting many things
which then seemed entirely out of reach.
That was growth, but if we wished to grow
we had to begin somewhere.
So we used our own conception,
however limited it was.

Thought to Ponder....

Minds are like parachutes --
they won't work unless they're open.
