This Week’s Quotation:
The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.
~ Mitch Albom
The Deep Blessings of Community
The sharing and caring of community are a blessing—each person in their own way and grace, offers what brings us together.
Living with those who hold us in their heart spaces, helps us to remember what we can give, and what we can receive, including love and caring.
We can be the answer to other's prayers for help and support, and each other’s witnesses to our joy, growth, and loving creations, as we offer each other strength and comfort.
Being in community is a form of life everlasting, the creation of a new way of being through our interactions together.
Communities shift and change as people come and go and we know that change is a blessing as we re-create together with great intentions. It is the strength of the tribe that holds us close and lets us go.
The meaning of life is more than the gift of knowing one another, it is giving ourselves to each other in ways that fill our souls and hearts as we embody our promise to each other to witness our lives and imagine, envision, and create together and know that life is one great and glorious surprise!!!
About Open Windows
We, the authors of this blog, dedicate it to the transparent exploration of the world’s sacred scripture and enlightened spiritual thought. We believe that the original inspiration of all faiths comes from a common source, named and revered in a myriad of ways. With that understanding, the innumerable symbols, beliefs, and practices of faith cease to divide. They become open windows to a common reality that inspires and unifies us. We find deeper insight and nourishment in our own faith and from the expression of faith from others.
We hope these weekly quotations and meditations speak to your heart and soul.
