Not in the imposing mansion
of Stan Hywet.. but in
the humble and cozy gate house
were the first meetings
of Alcoholics Anonymous
carried out.
Not to the frozen
high peaks
but to the lowlying
and omnipotent sea
do rivers flow.
Author's Notes/Comments:
to Irene Seiberling
Harrison, who left
her body at age 107..
after many decades
of vegetarian raw juicing
lifestyle. She also
campaigned against flourides.
It was in her gate house
as well as at St Thomas Hospital
that Dr Bob and Bill W's
AA had some of its first
meetings.
(General Bramwell
Booth of the Salvation
Army used vegetarian
diet as a cure for
alcoholism. His London
clinics' success helped
spread the SA around
the world)
