Connection with Others; Great-Hearted Service

“The word politics derives from the Greek word, polis, which means "city," and which the Romans translated as "public goods." Politics concerns the pursuit of public goods. If we were all-powerful, self-sufficient gods, we would not need politics. But we are not that. We rely on the care and cooperation of others. The powers of speech, reason, moral values, and technological skill are gained by partaking of community.” - Leslie Thiele, Indra's Net and the Midas Touch: Living Sustainably in a Connected World
Affirmative prayer: “I live, move, and have my being in the life of God. Through my vital connection with others, I cultivate the skills of communication, collaboration, and creation. I am of great-hearted service. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.” – Rev. Scott
