Ethics
by Aigeann
No discussion about spirituality is complete without some mention of ethics.
Therefore, take a moment to meditate on the choices you make in your own life and why. The big ones and the little ones. Were they all in keeping with your sacred intent?
It does not matter if you follow the Rede or the Heathen Nine Virtues or a personal code of honor created by you that is completely unique. As long as each of us conduct ourselves as a role model, in time our entire community will enjoy a respectful place in society and experience a greater sense of fellowship with each other.
There are no medium-sized trees in the deep forest. There are only the
towering ones, whose canopy spreads across the sky. Below, in the gloom,
there's light for nothing but mosses and ferns. But when a giant falls,
leaving a little space ... then there's a race -- between the trees on either
side, who want to spread out, and the seedlings below, who race to grow up. Sometimes, you can make your own space.
- Terry Pratchett, Small Gods
