The tornado tears its way across the countryside exercising its influence in a narrow erratic series of violent actions. It is soon dissipated and nature goes on her way only temporarily affected by the outburst. The glacier creeps along its chosen path and no single generation feels the effect of its motion. But the eject is there, and eventually the entire pattern of human life bows with nature to the result created by this measured, irrepressible movement. And so nature learns to adjust to movement: movement of the moment and movement of the ages. We humans must also learn to adjust. Each of us must experience for himself the results of action inspired by temper as well as the normal pattern of behavior. There are times when we must experience rapid and even violent motion in our lives. There are also times when we bear witness to the slow deliberate movement that so often brings a more stable and perma- nent achievement. Think carefully of the effort you are willing to put into your living as well as what you expect from it. Your decision will determine the kind of person you will be and the kind of world you will help create. There is excitement in the act of shoot- ing the rapids, but the joy, the sense of achievement, the sense of well being is found oniy as you sail the calm waters found after the rapids have been left behind.
