UNDERSTANDING


“Intelligence is proved not by ease of learning but by understanding what we learn.”

— Joseph Whitney



For years I learned things without understanding what the words, or the meaning behind

the words, really meant. An example was alcoholism. Then a man said, “My name is Bill,

and I am an alcoholic and a recovering human being!” Then it struck me; recovery from a

drug — alcohol — was not simply about putting down the glass but about changing and

developing a positive lifestyle as a human being.


The same is true with spirituality. It is not about being religious, going to church or

accepting dogma. It is about finding God in my life, discovering God in the decisions and

actions I take and seeing Him in the world around me. Today I understand spirituality to

be the link that unites all peoples and is centered on what is true and real.


May I continue to search for the meaning within the word and the harmony of

communication.
