HOW WE STAY AFLOAT –

“We must live and
work together as a
group to ensure that in
a storm our ship does not
sink and our members do not
perish. With faith in a Pow-
er greater than ourselves,
hard work, and unity we
will survive … .” (The
Basic Text, p. 63)

ENJOY THE FREEDOM OF INTERDEPENDENCE –

“Our whole trea-
sured philosophy of
self-sufficiency had to
be cast aside. This had
not been done with old-
fashioned willpower; it was
instead a matter of develop-
ing the willingness to accept
these new facts of living.
We neither ran nor fought.
But accept we did. And
then we were free.”
(Best of the Grape-
vine, p. 198)

“Faith is tak-
ing the first step
even when you don’t
see the whole
staircase.”

– Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929 – 1968) U.S. civil rights leader

The Peacock and The Crane.

T here was a peacock who often boasted about his beauty. Everyday he walked to the banks of a large lake and looked his own reflections and said “Oh! What a beautiful bird I am! Look at my colourful tail”.

Once the peacock saw a crane on the banks of the lake. He said with a sneer to the crane, “What a colourless bird you are! You have no beautiful and colourful feathers like mine”.

The crane replied, “Of course! I don’t have beautiful feathers. But, my feathers can make me fly across the lake. Can your feathers make you fly?” There was no reply from the peacock.  (http://www.english-for-students.com/The-Peacock-and-The-Crane-1.html)
