The Perennial Waters Project

Perennial Water often refers to fresh water streams, rivers, lakes, and ponds that keep full or flowing throughout the year for all or most years.

“The greatest of human discoveries in the future will be the (re)discovery of human intimacy with all those other modes of being that live with us on this planet, inspire our art and literature, reveal that numinous world whence all things come into being, and with which we exchange the very substance of life.” ——Thomas Berry

The Perennial Tradition encompasses the recurring themes in all of the world’s religions and philosophies that continue to say:

There is a Divine Reality underneath and inherent in the world of things.

There is in the human soul a natural capacity, similarity, and longing for this Divine Reality.

The final goal of existence is union with this Divine Reality.

We are community members, together in a common region, common ecologies, and our well-being is inextricably bound together in our collective eco-systemic wellness.

May we awaken together in contemplative activism and respond to the urgent call of our living neighbors.

With Humility,

we consider the costs of our past complacency and our destructive choices. Through meditation and contemplative prayer we respond, as we are called, and to the best of our ability we begin to make things right.

We bow towards Grace and Serenity as we seek to recognize, accept, and free ourselves of attachment to conditions which are beyond our control.

In gratitude, and in service of Soul, we humbly seek courage to change what is within our control.

We seek a greater capacity of discernment to cultivate wisdom. We thereby urgently aspire to intentional and deliberate participation in the evolution of consciousness.

We draw from Perennial Waters.

We invite you, dear friends, to join us.
