AA Thought for the Day

May 26, 2002

Meditation

When we refuse air, light, or food, the body suffers.
And when we turn away from meditation and prayer,
we likewise deprive our minds, our emotions,
and our intuitions of vitally needed support.
As the body can fail its purpose for lack of nourishment,
so can the soul.
We all need the light of God's reality,
the nourishment of His strength,
and the atmosphere of His grace.

Thought to Ponder....

Meditation means trusting the silence around me for a while,
as if it were an answer I had long sought.
