Sing HU to all God’s creatures and see what they say
Before singing a HU Song (A Love Song to God) at ECKANKAR’s Course on Spiritual Wisdom on Relationships last night I looked at the large old trees outside, thought of my love for All Beings, and how they play with the light (filtered by their form, reflected by their leaves) and sound (wind) of God.

Respect for All Beings
All Beings at Harmony asked for respect born of communication, of meeting at the crossroads and getting to know each other. For their part they often stopped what they were doing, and went out of the way to communicate. For our part they often ask us to lead the way for other humans, [...]
