So the heart of man reflects man.
Proverbs 27:19
In a couple of hours I’m going up to the clubhouse so that I can meet virtually with a sponsee. That’s AA-speak for one person helping another. The internet connectivity there is superb, and the hassle of getting dressed and driving there becomes worth it. There’s just one problem. There are no acoustics.
Therefore, I have to be mindful to speak softly less I disturb others who might be there. This is really hard for me to do! I come from a long lineage of very loud Polanders, and it’s most likely genetic because my daughter is the same way. That’s no excuse, though, and I know it. I’m just going to have to be aware. I do everything I can to make these weekly meetings. It’s worth the effort.
Our inner light shines when we connect with others…as within, so without. That can be something as simple as a smile, a phone call or a thoughtful text, holding the door open for someone or letting that car go in front of you in line. The immediate effect is surely positive. It’s worth the effort.
