Statement 18 (Vol 4 No 39)

Human relationships are based on choice and their evolution and their dissolution are also expressions of choice in the context of the people involved; human relationships are enriched by a positive religion and spiritual awareness, as opposed to being driven and dominated by religious dogma and directives, and an inauthentic or superficial spirituality.


We choose others as companions;

Friendships deepen or dissolve;

By our choice we make connections;

By our choice these can evolve.

 

When enriched by our awareness

Of our spirit’s energy,

Our relationships find closeness

As within a family.

 

Positive religion sponsors

Melodies we wish to sing;

Then each human meeting flowers

Like a garden in the spring.

 

That is when hope works its beauty,

Faith gives purpose to our day;

That is when grace shines in duty;

Love keeps loving, come what may.
