Let us set aside hate, and devote our lives to the ways of peace and justice.  

We are divine bodies of light and darkness

When you hear, “We are the liberating force, spirit, light, and love,” what does that conjure in your spirit?

Spirit that runs through us all, help me to remember all the ways in which I am connected to others.
