"Sometimes our light goes out but is blown back into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light."
...Dunno who Albert is, but I think I would like him.
You know...you won't hear me talk about God much...I talk about faith, understanding, belief systems even, but rarely do I pretend that I know God or totally understand his work, or that of others like Jesus, Buddha, etc. despite relating to much of what is written about them......but I feel compelled to share this....
Coincidences are God working. They reflect a greater power....
I really believe that. Coincidences were and still are a huge part of my step 2. If there was ever a man I feel the utmost affinity with today - in this moment...I realise it may very well be Albert. If I can strive to contribute half his love, faith and understanding to the world as we know it, I figure I'm on the right track.
Did I even pause to look for the source of those words? Nope. Luckily another enquiring mind did - for had he not, I may never have felt what I am feeling now. I would not have felt inspired and encouraged by those who have gone before me. I would have remained struggling...wondering if my efforts were so unique they were really in vain. Holding on to one sentence and missing the rest of the experience...
There are so many writers worth studying in this world, and this bloke is more precious than any gem.
