Words transmit ideas. Ideas found in sacred writings lead to ideals, and ideals lead to actions. I began life within faith traditions that venerate the Bible as the source for seeking and understanding God’s will. I’ve found some truth by that approach; but . . . have you ever read the Bible?

In this awareness, we can know that all of us belong to one another and to all creation.
Paper from which was exceprted Jaime's article in the March/April 2021 issue of Western Friend, "Wisdom at One with the Earth."
