AA Thought for the Day

March 24, 2004

Sunlight

My friend suggested what then seemed a novel idea.
He said,
"Why don't you choose your own conception of God?"
That statement hit me hard.
It melted the icy intellectual mountain in whose shadow
I had lived and shivered many years.
I stood in the sunlight at last.
It was only a matter of being willing to believe
in a Power greater than myself.
Nothing more was required of me to make my beginning.

Thought to Ponder....

In the depth of winter I finally learned
that there was in me an invincible summer.
