We of AA now find ourselves living in a world
characterized by destructive fears
as never before in history.
But in it we nevertheless see great areas of faith
and tremendous aspirations toward justice
and brotherhood.
Yet no prophet can presume to say
whether the world outcome will be blazing destruction
or the beginning, under God's intention,
of the brightest era yet known to mankind.
I am sure AA's well comprehend the scene.
In microcosm, we have experienced this identical state
of terrifying uncertainty, each in his own life.
In no sense pridefully, we AA's can say
that we do not fear the world outcome,
whichever course it may take.
This is because we have been enabled
to deeply feel and say,
"We shall fear no evil--Thy will, not ours, be done."
- Bill W., January 1962.

Thought to Ponder....

I need a renaissance of wonder.
I need to remember that life is miracle and magic.
