Language of the Heart

In the November 1972 Grapevine, Bill W. wrote of his first visit to AA overseas with his wife Lois: "As we journeyed from land to land, we had the same magnificent adventure in kinship over and over again. . . . Everywhere, everywhere, it was the same. This was something much greater than people cordially meeting people. This was no merely interesting comparison of mutual experiences and aspirations. This was far more; this was the communication of heart to heart in wonder, in joy, and in everlasting gratitude. Lois and I then knew that AA could circle the globe--and it has."
