AA Thought for the Day

May 15, 2005

Kinship

As we journeyed from land to land,
we had the same magnificent adventure in kinship
over and over again.
In Britain, we met with the most wonderful love
and understanding.
In Ireland, we were at one with the Irish.
Everywhere, everywhere, it was the same.
This was something much greater than people
cordially meeting people. . .
This was the communication of heart to heart in wonder,
in joy, and in everlasting gratitude.
Lois and I then knew that AA could circle the globe --
and it has.
- Bill W., July 1960.

Thought to Ponder....

We can make a difference.
Without you, there is no 'we.'
