AA Thought for the Day

April 26, 2008

Listen

There are two parts to human language:
the external language that people hear, and the language of the heart --
the simultaneous internal "listening" of the body. . .
Sometimes, the body can speak an eloquent language all its own.
I see and feel that in meetings. . .
Listening quietly is already a joy to me, and if it calms me down
and lowers my blood pressure in the process,
that's just another great reason to keep coming back.
