If we have listening ears, God speaks to us in our own language, whatever that language be
My wisdom flows from the Highest Source. I salute that Source in you. Let us work together for unity and love.

If you`d be loved, be worthy to be love

Let our lives be open books for all to study.
Let us work together for unity and love.
