Truth is within ourselves; it takes no rise
From outward things, whate'er you may believe.
There is an inmost center in us all,
Where truth abides in fulness;
... and, to know,
Rather consists in opening out a way
Whence the imprisoned splendor may escape,
Than in effecting entry for a light
Supposed to be without.
Robert Browning
(as quoted by Charles Fillmore in
Teach Us to Pray)
Join Us in Prayer
On Monday through Thursday, everyone at the Center pauses all activity at 11:00 am to read the Daily Word out loud, speak a few of our many gratitudes, and spend a few minutes in prayer. You are always welcome to come to the Center to join us for this renewing and refreshing break. But you don't have to be physically present, just join us in spirit from wherever you are.
