Statement of Values

We are here to learn, to explore, to notice, and notice again.

We are meant to create and each of us chooses the form of that creation.
If we do not choose that is a choice as well. Often we will be asked to create for others.
We are meant to help each and that can take many forms, including conflict of all scales.
Perhaps one of the things we are meant to learn is stewardship.
Procreation is one form of creation that combines both stewardship, discipleship, an immense irrational, unbounded hope.
All life is unique and valuable in its own way. Nothing is ever wasted.
The arc of history bends toward abundance; the universe is not a zero-sum game.
The Garden is both our future and our past.

To steal a phrase from Hafiz- “Love kicks the ass of space and time.”
I could be totally, comically, tragically, wrong about all this.
