AA Thought for the Day

March 31, 2007

Communication

The moment we alighted in Norway,
we knew that AA could and would go everywhere.
We understood not one word of Norwegian. . .
Yet there was a marvelous communication from the first moment. . .
The Norwegians were our people. Norway was our country, too.
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 one with the Irish.
Everywhere, everywhere, it was the same. . .
Lois and I then knew that AA could circle the globe -- and it has.
- Bill W., July 1960.
