“Let us make this earth a heaven, right here, right now.
Who knows what existences death will bring?
Let us create a heaven here on earth
where love and truth and justice reign.”
-Tess Baumberger
How can you help to create heaven on earth?
Sustainability
“We can’t turn back the clock to save lives, but maybe we can change our addiction to productivity that enables our leaders to fail us so tragically. Maybe we can change our habits of corporate consumption or unending growth of markets that leave small towns ruined. Maybe sustainability of markets—and our hearts and minds—is more important than the wealth of ten people on this globe.” -Rev. Jude Geiger
Do something to make your life more sustainable today. To sustain your heart, your mind, your soul.
Presence
“Our presence matters. How we relate to each other creates the conditions of hell or heaven here on earth. May we remember and affirm that we are all in this together, friends: we are all in this together.”-Rev. Deanna Vandiver
How can you affirm today that you are in this with someone else? With all of us?
Web
“We create a web of life. A web of life is created within which you can rest in that knowing. Because out of that you can act. Out of that, all power is yours. Out of that, you travel light. Out of that, you can step forward. We create a web of life.”
-Rev. Sarah Lammert
What is your strand in the web of life? Where do you rest in it today?
Invitation
“In every moment, life is giving us an invitation. I really believe that; I really believe that in every moment, life is giving us an invitation to do the things that are the most loving and life-affirming; and that doing the loving and life affirming thing is always the answer when you don’t know what to do, or if you’re feeling unsure.”
-Dr. Takiyah Nur Amin
