From Eckhart

"God never gave personal property to anyone." "Treat all things as if they were loaned to you ..."

"If a person were in a rapture as great as St. Paul once experienced and learned that her neighbor were in need of a cup of soup, it would be best to withdraw from the rapture and give that person the soup she needs."

" ... remember the poor."

Humanity in the poorest and most despised human being is just as complete as in the Pope or President.

" .... Humanity is dearer to me than the human being I carry about in myself."

If you would be comforted, comfort one worse of than yourself.

There is love where equality and unity are. Create real equality. Make place for peace and you make place for love. Be busy creating equality and therein find pleasure. "Practice equality in human society." Practice loving, esteeming, and considering yourself so that you may learn to love, esteem, and consider another and all. Nurture your empathy.

Humanity is born in the intimate depths of divine nature. See the nobility in each.

Cope strongly and effectively as you become rooted in love. You may move on and away from honored father and mother to find nourishing ground. Do not fear an other's anger. Feel bad only if an other's anger with you is merited.

A good deed results in justice. A deed of goodness and justice begins a dance of universal joy.

When you find a way which is beautiful, pleasant, joyful, and familiar hold to it and nurture it. The best have told us that the practice of loving justice brings us to that path.

Values

What's important about our Constitutions?
Why might it be important to talk about The Bill of Rights?
How might it be useful to discuss our legislative rights?
What good might come from a dialogue concerning our assumptions about the rule of law?
Christian and Classic love includes nurturance and support, doesn't it?
To give nurturance and support we must know enough about the loved to know what nurtures it, must we not?
Do we love our country? What do we know about our country that enables us to give it truly nurturing love?
Do we love our rights?
What do we know about our system of rights?
What do we know about loving our Constitution?
How do we love our country?
How do we love our republic?
How do we love our nation?
What do we love.
What do we actively nurture and support.
Why don't we talk about it??
