AA Thought for the Day

January 2, 2005

Zigzag

As I peel away the layers of day-to-day expediency,
I realize that my zigzag, erratic, and inconsistent course
was in the general direction of progress all the time.
That's good. . .
The only consistency I have maintained
is an absolute and total faith in AA, come what may.
Happiness happens when results exceed expectations. . .
Deep down, there is also a warm, small ball of faith,
never dimmed, unexplainable, asking nothing,
but giving much.
To define it or try to bounce it would distort or destroy it.
It just is, that's all.

Thought to Ponder....

Faith dares the soul
to go beyond what the eyes can see.
