1. It is a wise person who knows their ignorance.
2. You can never grasp all of the mystery.
You can only allow yourself to be grasped by it.

My agitation cannot rest, my busy mind is not attentive; hope evades me. Gloom fills darkness and dawn does not dispel my plight.

New images arise out of the death of old images so do not be afraid of the wilderness or of the dying.

1. Every apparently static order is but a temporary illusion.
2. The illusion of the order and the reality of the chaos.

Practice noticing what is humorous and on reflection you will be able to fill your life with laughter.

THEME The Complexities of Spirituality
THOUGHTS FOR REFLECTION
Instead of concentrating on what we think is wrong with other world religions, our time could be spent more profitably on identifying what we have in common.

O God, our lives are like a journey, and this Small Group experience has been like a wayside inn where we have paused to be refreshed and reinvigorated for the next stage.

THEME Two Faces of the One God –the One Life Force
THOUGHTS FOR REFLECTION
1. Darkness is the womb of the light, nothingness the womb of all things.

THEME The path to destruction and the path to new life.

The unthankful get the misery which they have brought upon themselves
Nothing liberates the human mind as much as a thankful spirit.

Oh, Source of All Gratitude, help us to be Thankful when we are tested to our limits

1. Imagination is the midwife of compassion.
2. Compassion belongs more to the gut than to the heart or the head.
3. Compassion is sharing the passion of the other as well as walking in their shoes.

Our senses and our use of them are part of God’s creation.

The establishment of justice and peace, inclusiveness and awareness may seem an impossible dream, but it is only those who are motivated by such a vision who are willing to make the sacrifices necessary to create a better world.

The superior/inferior relationship which produces the victim mentality does violence to both parties.
