THE HYDRANT OF LOVE WE DEFINE FOR OURSELVES -
"What often
takes place in a
few months could
hardly be accompli-
shed by years of self-
discipline. With few ex-
ceptions our members
find that they have tap-
ped an unsuspected
inner resource which
they presently iden-
tify with their own
conception of a
Power greater
than them-
selves."(H.
Al-Anon
Works
p.56)
"A GRADUAL AWAKENING" -
"Practicing the Eleventh Step involves a daily discipline of prayer and meditation." "Knowledge of our Higher Power's will does not usually come in a momentary blinding flash, but in a gradual awakening brought about by the continued practice of prayer and meditation." (It Works, How & Why p. 81)
"In understanding ourselves, we come to understand the world. In allowing ourselves to heal, we become the healers of the world." "Thus, we actualize the power within us to remedy the psychic wounds of humanity."
- Marianne Williamson (1952 - ) spiritual activist / author
*HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself. Like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
