FAITH DRAWN FROM THE LIGHT OF ANOTHER – “We admit that our lives have been unmanageable, but sometimes we have a problem admitting our need for help. Our own self-will leads to many problems in our recovery.” “Just for today I will have faith in someone in NA who believes in me … .” (The Basic Text. p. 93) on the Sun
“The light which puts out our eyes is darkness to us. Only that day dawns to which we are awake. There is more day to dawn. The sun is but a morning star.”
– Henry David Thoreau (1817 – 1872) U.S. poet / novelist

The Sun and The Wind :
To see which was the stronger, the sun and the wind challenged each other to strip the clothes from the first passerby.
The wind puffed with all the air in its lungs. But the more it blew the more the man drew his clothes tight around him and feeling a bit cold he even pulled on a cloak.
The sun didn’t do anything so strenuous. All it did was shine. And gradually the man grew hotter and hotter until he took off all his clothes to go for a swim.
This just goes to show that gentle persuasion is more effective than violence.
