"There are many things to be shared with the four colors of man in
our common destiny as one family upon our Mother the
Earth." Traditional Circle of Elders We
are people who normally would not mix. But there exists among us a
fellowship, a friendliness, and an understanding which is indescribably
wonderful. We are like the passengers of a great liner the moment
after rescue from shipwreck when camaraderie, joyousness and democracy
pervade the vessel from steerage to Captain's table. Unlike the feelings
of the ship's passengers, however, our joy in escape from disaster does
not subside as we go our individual ways. The feeling of having shared in
a common peril is one element in the powerful cement which binds us. But
that in itself would never have held us together as we are now
joined. Big Book pg.
