WHAT ARE YOU READING THIS SUMMER AND WHY?
Our Constitution amazes me, and I literally worship its wisdom
about human rights and the rights of individuals. I want to read and learn
about the inspiration behind the debates, revisions and the process behind
finalization of these words: “We hold these truths to be self-evident,
that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with
certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit
of Happiness.”

For a number of reasons, summer is known as a time of reading.
That could be because of so many summer books coming out. It could be that we
all have more time to read on vacation. Or it could be that summer is less
stressful.

Abraham Lincoln’s autobiography is one of the books I will be
reading this summer. His statement, “with malice towards none” has
been one of my anchors since my college interfaith discussions. I have given
many forms to it in my writings, including with prejudice towards none.

I am committed to read about America and Americans as a guide in
making, Americans Together, Building a
cohesive America. When complete, the documentary will reflect most
aspects of Americans, and their trials and tribulations, hopes and aspirations
and their persistent pursuit of happiness. Whether you are a Native American,
immigrant or a great grand immigrant, you would be able to relate to it.

As a pluralist Muslim, I take a quiz at Beliefnet every year, and
have consistently found that I am 100% Unitarian Universalist, 97% Quaker, 88%
Buddhist, 85% Reformed Jew, 85% Neo Pagan, 79% Baha’i, 80% Muslim, 68% Hindu
and 28% Catholic among others. My low score about the Catholic faith bothers
me, and I am committed to read books on Catholicism. I want to improve my
understanding to at least 50%. All recommendations are welcome.
