Forming Spiritual Base Communities |
To trust and be trusted, to learn and deepen, to be weak and be
renewed, to err and be corrected
this is the stuff of bonding and
love. To feel connected, encouraged, of value, with meaning these
are the gifts we can give one another. This is a way to keep our sanity,
our hope, and our vision, a way to keep aware of life and beauty in a
world which seems to deny it. It may be, perhaps, a way to make peace.
