Dinner and Divinity - November 6th - "Truthfulness: In All Things, At All Times"

A lovely evening as always. Lots of art and artistic discussion. Poetry was shared. Stories told. Doodles done. Our dinner was truly delicious. We had Swedish meatballs, breaded eggplant, veggies and mashed potatoes.

As the title says, our theme was all about Truthfulness. For the divinity portion, we discussed and shared quotes from many of worlds spiritual traditions on being truthful. We learned that dishonesty "physically" harms the body (think about how you feel when you lie...) and that without truthfulness, no other virtue is attainable. Can you be loving without truthfulness? Can you be patient? Can you be noble? Can you be selfless? etc. etc. The quote this concept comes from is:

"Truthfulness is the foundation of all human virtues." It's from the Baha'i Writings. Extending this concept into our daily lives, we set 3 to 5 goals for how we can be more truthful. Based on this quote and idea, how can you expand your foundation of truthfulness?

Here are some photos from the night. See you next time!
