This I believe:

I believe that the seed of good and evil resides in each of us.

I believe that each of us is capable of committing acts of good and evil depending on which seeds we nourish. It is for us to choose.
I must work diligently to identify the acts of violence that I participate in knowingly or unknowingly and take action to make things right with the victims of said violence.
I believe that I should not stand in judgment of anyone.
I must never believe that violence can serve righteousness.
I must never believe that I am incapable of violence.
I must never believe that good is good if it is only for me and mine.
I believe that I will know peace only when I find it at the center of my being.
I believe that I will be an effective peacemaker in the world only to the degree that I know the peace that is at my center.
I believe in silliness.
I believe in taking “ME” lightly.
I believe in the spirit of play that is holy.
I believe in the holy human spirit.
I believe that this is the spirit of “LIFE”.

Be not anxious!

Be not anxious! Earthly possessions dazzle our eyes and delude us into thinking that they can provide security and freedom from anxiety. Yet all the time they are the very source of all anxiety. If our hearts are set on them, our reward is an anxiety whose burden is intolerable…. When we seek for security in possessions we are trying to drive out care with care, and the net result is the precise opposite of our anticipations. The fetters which bind us to our possessions prove to be cares themselves.
