LETTING THE JOY SHINE THRU IN ALL WE DO – “Yes, we are a vision of hope.” “The joy that we have in living clean is an attraction to the addict who still suffers.” “The steps are a new beginning!” (The Basic Text, p. 53)
“The joy of life consists in the exercise of one’s energies, continual growth, constant change, and the enjoyment of every new experience. To stop means simply to die.”
– Aleister Crowley (1875 – 1947) British spiritualist / occultist

The Hunting Of The Snark
by Lewis Carroll
Dedication
Inscribed to a dear Child:
in memory of golden summer hours
and whispers of a summer sea.
Girt with a boyish garb for boyish task,
Eager she wields her spade; yet loves as well
Rest on a friendly knee, intent to ask
The tale he loves to tell.
Rude spirits of the seething outer strife,
Unmeet to read her pure and simple spright,
Deem, if you list, such hours a waste of life,
Empty of all delight!
Chat on, sweet Maid, and rescue from annoy
Hearts that by wiser talk are unbeguiled.
Ah, happy he who owns that tenderest joy,
The heart-love of a child!
Away, fond thoughts, and vex my soul no more!
Work claims my wakeful nights, my busy days–
Albeit bright memories of that sunlit shore
Yet haunt my dreaming gaze!
