Heart Thoughts:
The Anglican chamber of my heart values reason as much as tradition and sacred texts (yes, valuing all three, in tension and conversation with one another).
The Humanist chamber of my heart affirms human potential, goodness, and the need to respond to human need.
The Universalist chamber of my heart sees something sacred in every culture, tradition, and sincere endeavor to commune with the holy.
And the Mysticism chamber of my heart trusts that all life is connected and therefore our attitudes, habitual thoughts, and purpose filled words can influence how we experience life and can even influence many events.
In these days when reason, compassion, diversity, and hope are under constant attack, my heart with its many spiritual components struggles to maintain its highest ideals, to celebrate its most treasured truths, and to remain courageous enough to resist cruelty and injustice without sacrificing what it holds most dear.
