AA Thought for the Day

March 16, 2007

Navigation

Having seen for myself that my own navigation
served only to slam my boat up against shoals,
I have at last become willing to turn the steering
over to a more adept helmsman.
The decision is clear. Tomorrow I may be drunk.
But today I have the tired peace that comes
from doing the things you have to do
when you turn the wheel over to a mariner
who knows the way across, but makes you work with him
through every inch of the crossing.
