We have entered the world of the Spirit. Our next function is to grow in understanding and effectiveness. This is not an overnight matter. It should continue for our lifetime. ~ Alcoholics Anonymous, page 84
Once we have vigorously commenced
we find ourselves in a new place,
a new world, a new essence.
We have entered the world of the Spirit,
And what do we do in this new, strange world?
Our function is to grow in understanding,
in effectiveness. What a task!
How daunting, how awesome, how awe-full.
But not so much as to be impossible
for overnight growth, immediate effectiveness,
instant understanding is not expected.
Instead, it's a roadmap, a path, a goal, an ideal.
We've turned a corner, found where we are,
the road we'll travel the rest of our lives,
the road to sanity, to recovery, to peace.
