That we are "all one" is a spiritual
concept that is hard to get a grip on. What does it mean? That we are the same?
That we are connected by our being human and having human feelings and issues?
That what I do to you I somehow do to myself?
It's an intellectual grapple, and
I find myself wanting to figure it out. But I don't really think figuring has
anything to do with it. I think it has to do with energy and love and a heart
so full of compassion that it aches sometimes with the sad state of materialism
and circumstantial life affairs. It’s opening to the divine essence within us all
that we share: the flame of life, our spirit, our core. We are connected deep,
below the blood. And all any of us want, really, is to love and be loved.
I am kind and accepting with
everyone, myself included. We are all aching with love.
