AN INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHT

From my 1880s meditation book: "When we do our work in the great present...we are like to Him with whom there is no past or future...We walk without fear, full of hope and courage and strength to do His will, waiting for the endless good which He is always giving as fast as He can get us able to take it in."

Young herons and other birds of a feather

This young blue heron reminds me of kinda how I got sober. I kept going to meetings and drinking inbetween, but you AA's were attracting me to the edge with your"Come on in; the water's fine." Finally, (I think somebody pushed me) I got both feet wet. With about as much poise as this guy, but also with the breeze beneath my new wings, I left alcohol behind and began a wonderful new life
with the help of god, the program and the fellowship.
