AA Thought for the Day

October 19, 2006

Communication

Often, I sense the deep meaning
of the phenomenon of Alcoholics Anonymous,
but I cannot begin to fathom it.
Why, for instance, at this particular point in history
has God chosen to communicate His healing grace
to so many of us?
Who can say what this communication actually is --
so mysterious and yet so practical?
We can only partly realize what we have received
and what it has meant to each of us.
It occurs to me that every aspect of this global unfoldment
can be related to a single crucial word.
The word is communication.
- Bill W., July 1960.
