Greetings!
A Native American grandfather talking to his young grandson tells the boy he has two wolves inside of him struggling with each other. The first is the wolf of peace, love and kindness. The other wolf is fear, greed and hatred. Which wolf will win, grandfather? asks the young boy. Whichever one I feed, is the reply.
~ Native American Quote
Spirit United 2014 Theme: The Soul's Journey to Love and Freedom June's sub-theme: Finding Treasure: Healing Happening June's archetype: The Healer
"In form you are the microcosm,
but in reality you are the macrocosm."

 NEXT SUNDAY SERVICE 
SCHOOL SUNDAY
June 22, 2014
10:30am-11:30am
"A Time for Healing"
with Rev. Ron Moor
We have woken up, we have started our search, we have been looking within, we have been letting go. Now it is time for some healing. When we encounter what Rumi calls the "Friend", a deeper process takes over and healing begins. We hear the music. We will explore how this can happen as we go deeper into our journey. With luminous images, sacred chant, and inspirational quotes. "All day and night, music, a quiet, bright reed song. If it fades, we fade." ~Rumi

LAST SUNDAY
June 8, 2014 "A Ladder for Self Transformation" with guest Dr. James Ulness
and muscian Yazmin Bowers
This message gave guidelines to use to check our effectiveness on the "spiritual ladder". Am I kinder, more compassionate, more loving, etc?

The father who would taste the essence of his fatherhood must turn back from the plane of his experience, take with him the fruits of his journey and begin again beside his child, marching step by step over the same old road.
~Angelo Patri |
I believe that what we become depends on what our fathers teach us at odd moments, when they aren't trying to teach us. We are formed by little scraps of wisdom.
~Umberto Eco
