The Hopi Indians believed that every great religion contained one spiritual thread and that these threads are always seeking to connect themselves with each other. They felt that when these threads finally wove themselves together we would be pulled out of our darkness into a new spiritual light. I experience these threads in the rooms. In the rooms we respect each person’s path as their own. Together we experience the presence of God through community, through surrender, through working the steps. We’re on a path, not to perfection but of personal growth. We are there to occupy our chair as fully as we can, to grow in the presence of others, to share who we really are, not who we wish we were nor think we should be. As these threads weave together, we are pulled out of darkness and toward the light.

         I am part of the weaving of threads

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
