"One is not born a
Tewa but rather one is made a Tewa... once made, one has to work hard
continuously throughout one's life to remain a Tewa."
Alfonso
Ortiz
It is easy to let up on the spiritual program
of action and rest on our laurels. We are headed for trouble if we do, for
alcohol is a subtle foe. We are not cured of alcoholism. What we really have is
a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition.
Every day is a day when we must carry the vision of God's will into all of our
activities. "How can I best serve Thee--Thy will (not mine) be done."
These are thoughts which must go with us constantly. We can exercise our
will power along this line all we wish. It is the proper use of the will.
