|
Together we seek the highest, attempting to create again and again the holy ground that is always new and right here below our feet. from Community Our knowledge will always be partial and we can never be sure of the outcome. Yet there is no choice but to act, doing the best that we can within the limits that we have. from Conduct When we value the worthy things, we become precious ourselves. from Appreciation As surely as a fish must swim in water, we must live with other human beings. And just as a fish will suffer in polluted waters, our spirit will die in a land that is brutish and cruel. from Doing When we acknowledge the blessings we already have, we are free to receive the blessings that are waiting to be born. from Blessings To participate in the pleasures and sorrows of someone we love is to know one of life’s great satisfactions. To feel the misfortunes of those we don’t know personally is the basis of social justice. from Empathy The places of happiness are infinite, the sources never-ending. We inhabit those places not because we have pursued them but because our hearts have been open to receiving them. from Happiness There is always more to be known and nearly everyone we meet has something to teach us. from Learning We must be open to another’s thoughts and feelings, listening not merely with our ears but with our hearts, as well. When our hearts are open and we become vulnerable, what was once hidden comes into view. from Listening In our cupped hands we hold water. In our arms we hold the newborn and with our eyes we show love. We caress and with our breath we give life. from Simplicity |
