Gathering with Equals becomes Thrift
What this change means
Water held above a lake, contained by its banks: that's the figure once four lines move. In 60 Thrift, the still lines point the way. The first asks you to watch for the signs that say it's time to stop. The fifth asks you to take on the limits of this moment yourself, not just ask them of others, and promises that this path can succeed. So the community needs measure now. Notice where things have gone far enough, and stop there, even when you'd like to continue. Apply the same restraints to yourself that you'd ask of the group; leaders who exempt themselves lose trust quickly. Conserving time, energy and resources in this way can leave everyone better prepared for what's ahead.
