Two Ways Of Living

 "Blessed is the man

who does not go where the wicked gather,

or stand in the way of sinners

or sit where the scoffers sit!

Instead, he finds delight in the law of YAHWEH

and medidates day and night

on HIS commandments.

He is like a tree beside a brook

producing its fruit in due season, 

its leaves never withering.

Everything he does is a success.

But it is different with the wicked.

They are like chaff

driven away by the wind.

For YAHWEH knows the way of the righteous

but cuts off the way of the wicked."

- Psalm 1:1-2. 3. 4. 6

(This is no proclamation of one's own virtue or of vice, but we are at every moment making for one or the other.  It is salutary to remind ourselves what the end of each road is.  It is better still to remember that we have a powerful companion along the virtuous road, but along the wicked one, we are alone.)
