Guest speaker Rev. Dr. James Golden talks about what it means to be a human being.
Through the story of the Monk and the Baby, we learn to greet each moment with the awareness of "Ah, so this is my challenge."
Who do we really want to be in this life? The thoughts and the words that we allow to come out of us really determine who we choose to be. We are what we think and do. And in living this life, if we are not careful, we can lie to ourselves: The lie that we are unfortunate, the lie that we are not good enough, the lie that we cannot have integrity with ourselves. But through thought, we can instead practice the truth of who we really are: We are cared for in every moment. We are good enough. We are blessed beings.
Surely, a human being is a good thing.
