Nothing can be more demoralizing
than a clinging and abject dependence
upon another human being.
This often amounts to the demand
for a degree of protection and love
that no one could possibly satisfy.
So our hoped-for protectors finally flee,
and once more we are left alone --
either to grow up or to disintegrate.
- Bill W., Letter, 1966

Thought to Ponder....

The willingness to grow
is the essence of all spiritual development.
