"We are all One"

“We are all one”. If you have spent any amount of time in spiritual community or in spiritual exploration, I am sure you have come across this phrase. It is one of those phrases that we use so much that we often do not pause to really breathe it in. So, I have spent the past week really sitting with the aroma of these words. How can this awareness impact how I see myself and others? How can really allowing these words to permeate my cells change the way I live, breathe and move about the world. If we pause and contemplate the answers to these questions, we will experience the bountiful beauty of the answers. In my own contemplation this week I have come to the conclusion that I have been given a bit of spiritual lip service to this idea. I have become more aware that it is often a daily choice to see the world through this lens. To embody its meaning is to first understand our own connection with the very power that breathes us, and to really feel how that understanding sinks into the deep recesses of our being. When we can feel the sweet oozing of this understanding, then we can up level our awareness that this truth is present no matter whose eyes we gaze into. So that is what this week is all about….to pause….and allow this phrase to become more than words….but instead the very air that we breathe.
