"LAUGHTER IS THE MUSIC OF THE SOUL" * -
"The love of the
group, then, became
our Higher Power." "They
answered our questions, list-
ened to our problems, shared
our tears and laughter, and
guided us in recovery
... ." (Overeaters
Anon., p. 14)
WE CAN BE ... FREE -
"Outsiders are
sometimes shocked
when we burst into mer-
riment over a seemingly tra-
gic experience out of the past.
But why shouldn't we laugh?"
"We are sure God [or our
H.P.]* wants us to be hap-
py, joyous, and free."
(The Big Book,
pp. 132-
ο»Ώ133)
"And in the sweet-
ness of friendship let
there be laughter and the
sharing of pleasures. For in
the dew of little things the
heart finds its morning
and is refreshed."
- Khalil Gibran (1883 - 1931) Lebanese-American, world-renowned poet
*HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
