AA Thought for the Day

Truth

A world where truth does not shine
is a world filled with fog and cobwebs, a gray miasma
through which we run blind and lost and terrified,
tripping over roots we do not see,
dodging the threat of looming shapes, remaining separated
from our fellows in the dripping, fear-filled darkness.
The world of truth is the world of what is . . .
It is the room I sit in, the sleeping kitten . . .
It is here. It is now. It is what is.
It is my world, my truth, my reality. . .
Today -- now -- is truth.

Thought to Ponder....

Truth is to inner space what sunshine is to a garden.
