"Were I to be the founder of a new sect, I would call them Apiarians, and, after the example of the bee, advise them to extract the honey of every sect."
- Thomas Jefferson
Seek the underlying harmonies of love and the overarching rainbow of hope, rather than the surface distinctions of creeds and sects.
Work for peace in religion.
~Jenkin Lloyd Jones, 1907
‘God has given us many faiths but only one world in which to co-exist.
May your work help all of us cherish our commonalities
and feel enlarged by our differences.’
– Lord Jonathan Sacks,
the Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations
Our proportionate admission of the claims of good or of evil determines the harmony of our existence, — our health, our longevity, and our Christianity.
—Mary Baker Eddy

Doing as others told me, I was Blind.
Coming when others called me, I was Lost.
Then I left everyone, myself as well.
Then I found Everyone, Myself as well.
~ Rumi
To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.”
― Osho
Just as water reflects the stars and the moon,
the body reflects the mind and the soul.
~ Rumi
Love is cure. Love is power.
Love is the magic of changes.
Love is the mirror of divine beauty.
~ Rumi
A Sioux Prayer
Grandfather Great Spirit,
All over the world the faces of living ones are alike.
With tenderness they have come up out of the ground.
Look upon your children that they may face the winds
And walk the good road to the Day of Quiet.
Grandfather Great Spirit,
Fill us with the Light.
Give us the strength to understand, and the eyes to see.
Teach us to walk the soft Earth as relatives to all that live.
