The place of unity that calls to me most deeply, is unity with the future of the Earth and of all people.  If there was a guiding principle by which I would want to live, it is to do all that is possible for that future, for the generations of life to come.  To lay the foundation for a thriving, living, healing planet, teeming with life.  To learn and practice love, compassion, respect and care for each and every person, and every living being, every rock, every ocean.  To build the fabric of societies, woven of love, where differences are celebrated, and harmonized in the knowing of greater wholeness.  Where one cannot but care for another, when another is in need.  Where everyone is enriched by the circle of giving and receiving that is our Divine inheritance, and our calling.  May we create this future, in how we decide to live.
