AA Thought for the Day
(courtesy AA-Alive.net)

March 19, 2016

Meditation
Meditation belongs and grows with daily life and daily growth,
for it is in daily life that analytical thought binds us into the dilemma of opposites
and consequently into sorrow, pleasure-seeking and loss of freedom.
In a life that may often seem onerous, boring and senseless,
meditation can free us to its beauty, its joy beyond pleasure, its passion beyond sorrow.
- The Best of the Grapevine [Vol. 1], p. 172

Thought to Ponder . . .
Meditation means trusting the silence around me.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
G R A C E = Gently Releasing All Conscious Expectations.

Thanks to all of you for sharing so generously of your experience, strength and hope in carrying the AA message.
Blessings in sobriety to all,
In love and service,
