It has been said that Charity begins at home, and so it is for everything.  Forgiveness begins at home as does Respect.  Compassion and Companionship begin at home, and likewise do Trust and Encouragement.  We must first practice on ourselves that which we would bring to the world.  This is the sacred act of Be-ing, the practice of Humanity.  Let us be artists of Living and not just along for the ride.  We are grateful for intention.  Blesséd Be, and Amen.
