MAKING PEACE AND HARMONY – “In the previous steps, we began to make peace with our Higher Power and with ourselves. In the Eighth Step, we begin the process
of making peace with others.” (It Works, & Why, p. 54)
“Shall I not inform you of a better act than fasting, alms, and prayers? Making peace between one another: enmity and malice tear up heavenly rewards by the roots.” The Prophet Muhammad (570 – 632) founder of Islam

The Flowers from The Moon :
High in the mountains lived a prince whose great wish was to journey to the moon, because he loved its gentle glow. His dream finally came true. When he reached the moon, he discovered its light comes from the moon king’s beautiful daughter.
The two young people soon fell in love, but the worlds they came from were very different and soon they had to part. As a sign of her great love, the moon king’s daughter gave the prince one of the smooth and lovely flowers that covered the moon like snow and this was how the first alpine flower was brought to earth.
