When we know, who walks beside us, on this path we have chosen, our fears fall from us.

Our Foundation


Everyone’s life is built on a spiritual foundation; many however will never take the time to inspect their foundation to see what it is really made of or the ground on which it is built until it is too late. Living on the Spiritual Basis our work begins with inspecting our foundation, for without a strong foundation well placed no structure, spiritual or otherwise, however finely constructed will stand against the inevitable trials and tribulations that come to all.

Speaking in high terms, affirmations and glowing assumptions is easy when the sun rides high, the river low and the breeze gentle. Why do hard things like building on high rock, which requires commitment and forethought, when there are easy things like building on loose soil close to water. But as the inevitable storm clouds of living gather, the rushing waters of fear rising and the winds of perceived loss and resentment begin to whip, it becomes clear that a spiritual foundation built on sweet sounding rhetoric and little real action is unsound. As the storm intensifies and the structure begins to fail, the foundation crumbling in the ever-growing maelstrom, what will we do? Seek solid spiritual high ground and shelter from the storm or be swept away by fear and desperation.

Had we first built on solid spiritual ground a great deal of suffering could have been avoided. So, when was the last time you inspected your spiritual foundation for materials and location? If work and relocation is required, it is much easier to accomplish on calm days than stormy so set to work while the sun shines so when the next storm comes, for there is always another, you will not only be prepared but you well be able to provide shelter to those who desperately need it.
