Beliefs:
● Just like Michelangelo’s Stone, we all have a perfect work of art inside of us, we just need to chip away a little at a time to reveal it.
● Just like the Emperor’s Bowl, when we are broken, we are to mend it with gold so that when we enjoy our soup we are reminded of our perfect imperfections.
● Just like the Parable of the Plank and the Splinter, we should remove the plank from our own eye before attempting to remove the splinter from our neighbor’s.
● Just like the Aristotle’s Metaphysics, no one part is greater than the whole, and in the whole is greater than the sum of all of its parts.
● Just like the Parable of the Lost Sheep, the shepherd may not rest until all of His sheep are found and returned safely to the flock.
● Just like a Pack of Wolves, sometimes we are leaders, and sometimes we are followers, but no one is left behind.
● Just like the Sheep and the Wolves, sometimes we need to be sheep in wolves clothing in order to know where the wolves are coming from.
● Just like a Reed in the Wind, we bend and don’t break.
● Just like the Japanese proverb of the Oyster and the Pearl, it is from a grain of sand in the soft folds of our spirit that creates the friction that polishes the pearl.
