We have come to believe...
1.
Our World The world of the 21st Century is complex, and provides constant choices for us all. It gets tougher and less certain all the time...
2.
Search for Meaning Most of us seek meaning in our lives... which involves family, friends, and work. The search is deep and for some very conscious...
3.
The Gift of Friends Friendship of those around us, those far away, and those departed is precious and all we really have in the here and now to give us strength and faith for the future.
4.
What We Have Today Most of us must live in the moment and hope for the best tomorrow, and yet learn as best we can from the past. If we do not grab the moment, it will fly away with the wind...
5.
Our Human Best Most of us do the best we can every day, in every way.
6.
Requiring Action We can maintain friendship in our mind, and deep in our heart, but it requires real action and love to be real and enrich our lives. Action is sometimes instinct, sometimes no choice....
7.
The Strongest Bond When we love and extend our heart in friendship, we are vulnerable, but also so strong that a bond is created. When we express such love and friendship, the bond is made for all time.
8.
We Are Different Friends can disagree and are separate hearts and souls. True friends know this and accept it and appreciate the differences. The differences give us depth and a chance for humility, and extending more friendship and love.
9.
Not Alone We all agree that we are not alone, we came from somewhere and we are going somewhere.
10.
One Family We share this time together in friendship to give each other the most real and true life and love we could ever wish to have as brothers and sisters of one family.
People with these beliefs meet from time to time in groups to share their stories and joy. They are lifted, and gifted by this experience. Most want to share, and once they do share, they want to help others to do so and to share even more.
We do all, in this way, build our "Ship of Friends". It is one of the most important things we will ever do. It is our life mission to complete and to make the world better.
One family, one unbroken promise.....that a life that love knows and that knows love is the only life to live.
