AA Thought for the Day

December 9, 2004

Hand-in-hand

We pocket our pride and go to it,
illuminating every twist of character,
every dark cranny of the past.
Once we have taken this step, withholding nothing,
we are delighted.
We can look the world in the eye. . .
We begin to feel the nearness of our Creator.
We may have had certain spiritual beliefs,
but now we begin to have a spiritual experience.
The feeling that the drink problem has disappeared
will often come strongly.
We feel we are on the Broad Highway,
walking hand in hand with the Spirit of the Universe.

Thought to Ponder....

Spirituality is the essence of being.
It can shape reality.
