From Easy Does It – “I think I enjoy the world when im improving it..by being a friend, volun- teering,,etc there are so many opportunities to do both if I can just listen to that still small voice.”
POWER AND CONTROL IN THE WORLD –
“As we drove away
the people who cared
about us, we used more
drugs, trying to cover up
our feelings.” “We suffer-
ed when things didn’t go our
way, but so strong was our
desire for power and con-
trol that we couldn’t see
the futility of our efforts
to manage events.”
(The Basic Text,
p. 45)
“If the world
were merely seduc-
tive, that would be easy.
If it were merely chal leng-
ing, that would be no prob-
lem. But I arise in the morn-
ing torn between a desire to
improve the world and a
desire to enjoy the world.
This makes it hard to
plan the day.”

How have you improved your corner of the world, lately?
The World is Round. :
One day a priest’s one slipper fell into the river. The priest threw the other slipper into the water because he had no use for one slipper.
A man was bathing in the river. He saw the slipper and threw it on the bank. But the slipper hit a man who was carrying a pot of kheer on his head. The pot broke and the kheer spilled on the ground.
Suddenly a hawk swooped down and flew off with the slipper. As the hawk flew in the sky the slipper fell from his beak and into the plates of people who were eating in an open field.
In anger, they threw the slipper in the field. There, a man was busy milking a cow. The slipper went and hung on one of the cow’s horn. She started jumping around. The angry milkman threw the slipper into nearby house.
A man was sitting in the courtyard there. He saw the slipper. He was the priest the owner of the slipper. [And] thought, “My slipper has come back to me. The world is indeed round.”
