AA Thought for the Day

November 2, 2006

Meditation

We will want the good that is in us all,
even in the worst of us, to flower and grow.
Most certainly we shall need bracing air
and an abundance of food.
But first of all we shall want sunlight;
nothing much can grow in the dark.
Meditation is our step out into the sun.

Thought to Ponder....

Meditation means
trusting the silence around me for a while,
as if it were an answer I had long sought.
