Purpose in the Patterns
We affirm that science and spirituality are not separate paths but deeply intertwined. When we approach the cosmos with curiosity and reverence, we recognize the Creator’s presence in the patterns and processes of the natural world. The real way of loving...is by joining in the life of the beloved. Our participation in creation is an act of love, joining the ongoing work of shaping and sustaining life. This calls us to see the world as sacred, not as a distant concept but as an intimate reality. We belong to this interconnected whole, to the Source that binds all things. By grounding our understanding in both contemplative practice and scientific knowledge, we deepen our awareness of the unity and coherence that sustains us and are invited to live with greater purpose and presence.
May we join in the life of the beloved,
recognizing the sacred unity that
connects and sustains all things.
