Meditation of the Day
“With prayer and good intentions, we make our lives sacred and come into balance.”
— Don Jose Matsua, Huichol Sierra Madre, Mexico
In the sacred embrace of prayer, we find the pathway to spiritual transformation. All life is revered in this ancient teaching. Today, I dedicate myself to serving the greater good, seeking the strength to rise above temptation. If challenges arise, grant me the wisdom to uncover the lessons that lead to harmony. Allow me to see the world through a sacred lens, recognizing the beauty in all things.

The light of exposure
“These defects grow in the dark and die in the light of exposure.”
— Basic Text, p. 32
In our journey within the Fellowship, we understand that the Fifth Step invites us to share our authentic selves with ourselves and another human being. This process is not about revealing every secret, but about acknowledging that hidden truths can harm us when kept locked away. By gently exposing our true nature to at least one trusted individual—a fellow companion or mentor—we diminish the power of our secrets. Often, the response we receive is one of acceptance, reminding us that honest sharing is not a threat to our being.
Just for Today: I have the power to dissipate the weight of my secrets by sharing them with a trusted friend in my Fellowship.
