Welcome

1. REVERENCE FOR LIFE
I open my heart to consider, to delight in, to nurture and to celebrate the beauty, integrity and well-being of all life-forms and natural systems: people of all ages, kinds and races, animals and plants, lands and seas, which co-exist with me now and which will come after me into the far future. These I take to be my kin, expressions of the same Heart of Being, the same Living Universe, of which my life is an expression.

2. SERVICE
Holding reverence for life to be one of my deepest values, I commit myself to serving the Web of Life, to hearing the pain of both people and our sister and brother life forms in distress, to finding the path of service that is right for me, and to inviting and joining, encouraging and accompanying, others to do the same.
