The Results of Abiding Love

 It is the most Elegant Truth of all;

Without you I wouldn't be Me,

You allow and help me to be Me.

The Joy of Life comes from the Creator

Who gave you to me and me to you.

We have become a new and whole thing!

Language Often Determines Beliefs

 Using a Universal Nomenclature to describe our experiences with the Almighty, which I believe is an improvement over any Religion specific words would (or could) be: God the Creator; God the Teacher; and God the Constant Companion, which many call the Holy Spirit. I find these words allow almost all religious conversations to reveal our shared fundamental spiritual experiences teaching us we can agree on much more than that which divides us. A study of the origins of our religions may well reveal many common values and principles which govern not only our attitude about our place in the cosmos but also many of our core values teach us to "respect the dignity of every human being". (a phrase from one Denominations' Baptismal Right)
