LIFE WITHOUT OUR SPIRITUAL GUIDES -
"When we
forget the ef-
fort and the work
that it took us to get
a period of freedom in
our lives, a lack of gra-
titude sinks in, and
self-destruction be-
gins again." (The
Basic Text, p.
81)
HOPE & GRATITUDE IN ALL OUR AFFAIRS -
"None of us makes a sole vocation of this work, nor do we think its effectiveness would be increased if we did." "A much more important demonstration of our principles lies before us in our respective homes, occupations and affairs." (The Big Book,p. 19)
"The work begins
anew; The hope rises
again; And the dream lives on."
Edward M. Kennedy (1932 - 2009) U.S. Senator for 47 years
HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
