We do not stand alone. This path is not ours to forge from scratch. Wisdom stretches behind us, a shared inheritance passed through generations of seekers. It does not belong to one religion or denomination, but is revealed in many traditions by those mature enough to see beyond boundaries. Teachers who limit learning to familiar conclusions narrow the horizon. Those who point us toward a broader, deeper stream of truth offer something greater. If it is true, then it has to be true everywhere. Informed by voices across time and cultures, we listen for what recurs—what holds true. There is something in us that recognizes Divine Reality, something that longs for union with it. Our trust deepens when we see this same truth shining in many places. This is the wisdom we carry.
May we walk in the truth that is true everywhere,
guided by the shared wisdom of all who have sought the Divine.
(inspired by Richard Rohr, Yes, And…; The Perennial Tradition)
