AA Thought for the Day

November 2, 2005

Experiment

We recoiled from meditation and prayer
as obstinately as the scientist
who refused to perform a certain experiment
lest it prove his pet theory wrong.
Of course, we finally did experiment,
and when unexpected results followed, we felt different;
in fact we knew different;
and so we were sold on meditation and prayer.
And that, we have found,
can happen to anybody who tries.

Thought to Ponder....

Prayer asks the question.
Meditation listens for the answer.
