Show Me

To you the churches and faith traditions
I give this challenge:

If the word of God is real when He said,
“You shall love thy neighbour…”
then show me.

Don’t tell me
because I have no more time
to listen.

Art Solomon, Anishinaabek elder,

quoted in KAIROS, In Peace and Friendship: A New Relationship with Aboriginal Peoples

We are One

We are all Story. … We are energy moving forward to the fullest possible expressions of ourselves, …

We are one. We are, in the end, one story, one song, one spirit, one soul.

Richard Wagamese, One Story, One Song

Present Moment

There is only one moment when we can feel truly alive. That is the present moment.

The present moment is the only moment where life is available.

Healing

May all that I do today contribute to the healing of the world,

and may my heart be open enough to allow the world to contribute to my healing.

Christina Baldwin, The Seven Whispers

Being Human

We are not cabin dwellers, born to a life cramped and confined; we are meant to explore, to seek, to push the limits of our potential as human beings. The world of the sense is just a base camp: we are meant to be as much at home in consciousness as in the world of physical reality.
