The First Circle

Our families are the beginning, the first Circle in our lives. This Circle is to be defended with our love, our honour, our integrity, our devotion, our time, our resources, and our words.

The outside world sees us as a product of these commitments. To behave in an unbecoming manner reflects upon every member of the first Circle. If we claim to be spiritual, we must heal the first Circle by being committed to the well-being of every family member without judgment or conditions. Then we earn the right to extend the first Circle of blood relations to others whom we adopt through our commitment and love.

Only then can we call others “Sister” or “Brother”, living this commitment through our willingness to stand in unity through all the tests of time.
