We know that we shall always have to deal
with the fearful forces which are released
when the human ego runs amok --
the same forces that are shattering the world of our time.
'Deliver us from temptation'
must therefore continue to be a prime ingredient
of our every attitude, practice and prayer.
When things go well, we must never fall into the error
of believing that no great ill can possibly befall us.
Nor should we accuse ourselves of "negative thinking"
when we insist on facing the destructive forces in and around us,
both realistically and effectively.
Vigilance will always be the price of survival.
This is the protective aspect of our Traditions.

Thought to Ponder....

Sobriety is a gift, the price of which is eternal vigilance.
