AA Thought for the Day

August 7, 2005

Sunlight

When the thought was expressed
that there might be a God personal to me,
I didn't like the idea.
So my friend Ebby made what then seemed a novel suggestion.
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.
