Today is tradition’s only link with the promise.

When faith traditions speak of promises to come;

when religions wait for the coming of the Messiah or for the Second Coming;

when the past proclaims our future destiny—

the one link upon which this all depends

and through which it all must pass

is Today.

Today is tradition’s only link with the promise.

January 1988
