Continuing through our alphabet of Spiritual Literacy…
L
Listening
Cultivate the art of deep listening in which you lean toward the world in love. All things in the universe want to be heard, as do the many voices inside us.
Love
Fall in love over and over again every day. Love your family, your neighbours, your enemies, and yourself. And don’t stop with humans. Love animals, plants, stones, and even the galaxies.
M
Meaning
Constantly try to discover the significance of your experiences. Seek further understandings from sacred texts and spiritual teachers.
N
Nurturing
Take good care of the best that is within you. Self-exploration and personal growth continue throughout our lifetimes and equip us to tend to the needs of others.
O
Openness
Hold an open house in your heart for all people and all things. Practice empathy with others and receptiveness toward the universe.
P
Peace
Protect the earth’s future by promoting peace every day. Your small steps will link you with others who are combating violence in the world.
Play
Be playful. Express your creative spirit in spontaneity. Hurrah the pleasures of being, and let loose your laughter.
